How can transaction isolation levels affect performance?
Track: Java

Answer
Higher isolation levels can reduce concurrency and performance.
Higher isolation levels, like SERIALIZABLE, prevent anomalies but limit concurrent transactions, impacting performance. For instance, in a high-traffic e-commerce site, using SERIALIZABLE might decrease responsiveness due to locking, while READ COMMITTED offers a balance between consistency and performance.
