Check symptoms against: Long derived method names unreadable; missing @Transactional on service layer writes..

Detailed answer

At 10× traffic for Spring Data JPA Repositories: 1) Bottleneck shifts from “works on my laptop” to queue delay and resource saturation. 2) Protect the loop/path: timeouts, bulkheads, backpressure, worker offload for CPU work. 3) Scale out carefully: sticky vs stateless, connection pools, cache hit ratio. 4) Prove with load tests that p99 stays inside SLO. Example to cite: findByEmailIgnoreCaseAndActiveTrue(String email) generates query at startup. Parent context: Mitigate first, then root-cause. Check symptoms against: Long derived method names unreadable; missing @Transactional on service layer writes..
