Prove Spring Data JPA Repositories is healthy with latency (p50/p95/p99), error/saturation rates, and queue/event-loop lag — not just CPU. Context: Mitigate first, then root-cause. Check symptoms against: Long derived method names unreadable; missing @Transactional on service layer writes..

Detailed answer

Production health signals for Spring Data JPA Repositories: • Latency: p50/p95/p99 of the critical path that uses Spring Data JPA Repositories. • Errors: failure rate, timeouts, and retry storms. • Saturation: queue depth, event-loop delay, thread/pool utilization. • Business SLIs: request success and user-visible freshness where relevant. Trade-off lens: Pros: Minimal boilerplate; pagination and sorting built-in. Cons: Derived query names explode; N+1 if fetch graphs missing. Explain thresholds + alerts, then how you triage. Parent context: Mitigate first, then root-cause. Check symptoms against: Long derived method names unreadable; missing @Transactional on service layer writes..
