JPA/Hibernate Patterns

Use for data modeling, repositories, and performance tuning in Spring Boot.

When to Activate

• Designing JPA entities and table mappings
• Defining relationships (@OneToMany, @ManyToOne, @ManyToMany)
• Optimizing queries (N+1 prevention, fetch strategies, projections)
• Configuring transactions, auditing, or soft deletes
• Setting up pagination, sorting, or custom repository methods
• Tuning connection pooling (HikariCP) or second-level caching
