What makes a database run slower in Java?
When you add complexity the code will run slower. Introducing a REST service if it’s not required will slow the execution down as the system is doing more. Abstracting the database is good practice. If you’re worried about speed you could look into caching the data in memory so that the database doesn’t need to be touched to handle the request.
When to use NoSQL vs.sql in app development?
