Singleton Design Pattern in Java — From Naive to Thread-Safe
The article discusses the Singleton Design Pattern in Java, emphasizing its importance in managing database connections efficiently. It explains how to implement a Singleton pattern to ensure that only one instance of a database connection is created, thus avoiding performance overhead. Additionally, it addresses thread safety concerns and presents solutions for concurrent access to the Singleton instance.
- ▪The Singleton pattern is used to manage database connections efficiently by preventing multiple instances.
- ▪A private constructor is used to restrict instantiation of the class, ensuring a single instance is created.
- ▪Thread safety can be achieved by synchronizing the method that returns the instance.

Let's say we need to connect to DB and for every request if we keep creating a new Instance of Db connection to connect to Db this will create a Performance overhead. As it is costly to create a Db connection for every request and it takes time to create the connection which causes delay.
