I am looking at the implementation of Serializable above and I am unsure how by just applying this annotation, it automatically makes my data class have a new "serializer()" method to it. It doesn't seem like it is doing anything special so this makes me believe there is something hidden happening.

It's a combination of IDE plugin (found directly inside the Kotlin plugin), a gradle plugin and a compiler plugin.
