This template project is an attempt to demonstrate annotation based AOP in a minimalist way using vanilla AspectJ. It uses AspectJ runtime to weave the aspects in a post-compile fashion and doesn't require Spring or a similar Java library.

Scenario: There is a new feature being added to our product and we want to analyze the response of our users.

Usage: This new feature can be used via a REST endpoint

Tracking: We want to track activity of requests hitting this endpoint. We have different types of users, for example: Basic, Advanced, Premium, etc. and we want to know which user segment is more responsive to this newly introduced feature. We will use Segment.io, a platform that collects user events from mobile and web applications to analyze customer behavior to achieve this.

To run this app end-to-end, you will need an account on Segment.io. Once you have that, set an environment variable SEGMENT_WRITE_KEY with value as your Segment write key and run the gradle task as follows. You should be able to see the events triggered on your Segment dashboard.
