What are the best practices for using Realm in my app?

When using Realm, consider these best practices: 1. Use Realm's built-in data types for efficiency. 2. Keep your data models simple. 3. Use transactions for batch updates. 4. Avoid large queries on the main thread.

Can you explain why using transactions is important?

Using transactions ensures data integrity and consistency. It allows you to group multiple write operations, so either all succeed or none do, preventing partial updates.

What should I avoid when working with Realm?

Avoid using Realm on the main thread for heavy queries, and don't mix Realm objects with other data types without careful handling.

How can I optimize my Realm database performance?

To optimize performance, use lazy loading, minimize the number of objects in memory, and index frequently queried fields.

Are there any specific tools for monitoring Realm performance?

Yes, you can use Realm Studio for monitoring and debugging your Realm database, as well as profiling tools available in your development environment.
