Answer
Instant is immutable and thread-safe, representing a point in time in UTC.
Instant provides a cleaner API for dealing with timestamps in UTC, avoiding the complexity of time zones. It's immutable and thread-safe, unlike java.util.Date. In an e-commerce application, using Instant ensures consistent timestamp logging across different servers.
