I haven't internalised what inversion of control means, but I'm very strong on the distinction between dependency inversion and dependency injection frameworks.

With DI, you stop your business logic from knowing about your Postgres database.

With DInjF, not only does business logic still know about Postres, but now it knows about Spring too! (The upside is that it takes fewer lines of code to get from 0 to spaghetti)
