Question

Intelliji idea is very slow in debug mode and it is running perfectly in normal mode.

I already tried by setting the below thing in /etc/hosts file sudo nano /etc/hosts

Answer 1

I had the similar issue. In my case it was method breakpoints. There was just one break point on a method. My spring boot app took around 20 mins to launch. When I removed the breakpoints it took 4 seconds to launch.

I also changed the debugger settings.

1. Unchecked - Enable alternative view view for Collections classes
2. Unchecked - Enable 'toString()' object view:

but these settings didn't make a difference.
