lombok is the holy grail of java boilerplate removal.

With proper usage of spring-data, spring-cloud-stream, spring-* lomboked java code can be very terse. If you follow conventions repositories, rest clients, mappers etc. are often defined only by interfaces and annotations - actual implementations are generated.

The downside is that the entrance to the full blown spring-* world has a step learning curve - there is a lot to read at spring.io.
