How can I optimize the performance of my Spring application?

There are several strategies you can use to optimize your Spring application, such as using caching, optimizing database queries, and minimizing the use of heavy libraries. Would you like to dive into any specific area?

Yes, tell me more about caching.

Caching can significantly improve performance by storing frequently accessed data in memory. You can use Spring's built-in caching support with annotations like @Cacheable. Do you need help with implementation?

That sounds great! How do I implement @Cacheable?

To use @Cacheable, first, enable caching in your configuration class with @EnableCaching. Then, annotate your service method with @Cacheable, specifying a cache name. Would you like a code example?

Yes, please provide a code example.

Sure! Here's a simple example:

@Cacheable("users")
public User getUserById(Long id) {
    return userRepository.findById(id).orElse(null);
}

This caches the result of the method based on the user ID.
