Learning Spring Boot from Zero to Cloud: Part 28 - Scope Prototype, ApplicationContext ObjectFactory

📌 *Welcome to another episode in our *Spring Boot Deep Dive Series*!*
In this video, we take a comprehensive look at **prototype scope in Spring Boot**, when and how to use it, and the best practices around injecting prototype-scoped beans into singleton-scoped components. This is part of a growing series, so make sure to check the playlist for more hands-on Spring Boot topics!

🔥 Whether you're a backend developer optimizing multi-threaded jobs, or trying to manage bean lifecycle more effectively, this session will give you both the theory and practical code examples to master `@Scope("prototype")`.

👇 **What you'll learn in this video**:
🔍 The difference between *singleton* and *prototype* scopes
🎯 Real-world use cases where prototype makes sense
⚙️ How `ObjectFactory(T)` and `ApplicationContext` differ and when to use each
🛠️ Step-by-step: injecting prototype beans correctly
📊 Detailed comparisons and clean code samples
🚨 What not to do: common pitfalls and performance concerns
