Managing large datasets efficiently is essential in software development. Retrieval strategies play a crucial role in improving performance and scalability, especially when response times are critical. Pagination is a core technique used to manage data effectively. It is essential for optimizing performance and resource management. In this article, we will explore two pagination strategies, offset and cursor-based pagination, that are suited to different scenarios and requirements. These strategies will help you understand the importance of pagination and how they can benefit your system.
Leveraging Jakarta Data, this exploration integrates these pagination techniques into a REST API developed with Quarkus and MongoDB. This combination demonstrates practical implementation and highlights the synergy between modern technologies and advanced data handling methods.
