Answer
Records should not be used for classes with complex behaviors or mutable state.
Java records are ideal for immutable data carriers but are not suited for classes that require complex behavior or mutable state. Overusing records in these situations can lead to inappropriate designs. For example, a record should not manage database connections or implement complex business logic. It is important to use records only when the primary purpose is data encapsulation.
