This sounds tedious to instantiate on the back end unless you're using a framework or convenience method that's going to populate, from a ResultSet? Front end data is simple if you can instantiate from JSON using gson. Requiring all values final on instantiation will require a very different DTO structure than the legacy apps I've seen.

I doubt it's going to be much different than Lombok in terms of 
performance or reliability. The only difference I can see is in terms of 
clarity of intent. If you start your class with `record`, then you make 
clear for all to see what you intend the class for. The heuristic value 
of that is non-zero.

I haven't had the chance to use records in production yet, so I can but 
mostly speculate. A quick lookup however suggests that you can use 
Lombok's @Builder on `record` classes.
