saveAll

• Looking into the implementation of the two methods, we can see that saveAll() iterates over each element and uses the save() method in each iteration. This implies that it shouldn’t be such a big performance difference.
• Both use @Transactional with default transaction propagation type is REQUIRED, which means that, if not provided, a new transaction is created each time the methods are called.
• Each time we call the save() method, a new transaction is created, whereas when we call saveAll(), only one transaction is created, and it’s reused later by save().
• This overhead translates into the performance difference that we noticed earlier.
  • Finally, the overhead is bigger when batching is enabled due to the fact that it’s done at the transaction level.
