Answer
DTOs allow evolving API responses independently of the database.
DTOs provide a way to manage API changes over time by allowing different versions of the API to have different representations of the same data while using the same underlying entities. This separation ensures that updates to the database don't force immediate changes to the API. For instance, you might have `ProductDTOv1` and `ProductDTOv2` to support different client requirements.
