Unlike traditional databases, Java provides a feature through the ReentrantReadWriteLock that allows you to acquire either a read lock or a write lock at a time.
If you're looking to build a highly performant concurrent application, using the ReentrantReadWriteLock can be a great choice.
You can learn more about how it works and how to use it in my blog post: Understanding ReentrantReadWriteLock in Java: A Controlled Approach to Thread Management
Once you understand its benefits, you'll be in a better position to choose ReentrantReadWriteLock over other alternatives like ReentrantLock and the synchronized keyword.
