Especially in systems with a Single-Primary Database Replication architecture, this annotation boosts performance by routing read-only transactions to replica nodes, reducing the load on the primary database.
Key benefits include:
๐ Better Scalability: Offloading read operations to replicas allows the primary database to focus on writes, enhancing system throughput.
๐ Fault Tolerance: If the primary node fails, replicas maintain the availability of read operations.
โก Optimized Resource Usage: Read-only transactions use fewer resources, as they donโt lock or modify data.
๐ ๏ธ Simplified Configuration: Applying @Transactional(readOnly = true) at the class level ensures efficient routing of read methods to replicas without redundant setup.
By minimizing primary node contention and boosting database performance, this pattern is essential for high-performance applications. ๐
