A DTO can be a JavaBeans (encapsulated) or POJO (no constructor) or an immutable Record class (added advantage on serialization), that maps the data from the database layer domain model to the presentation layer, restricting the data on a need-to-know basis and acts as a proxy providing filtering and preprocessing. https://snyk.io/blog/how-to-use-java-dtos/ By employing static code analysis tools, the NullPointerException feasibility on the code flow is determined, making the code not only null-safe but also cutting down the exception propagated stacktrace given in the piped code sequence invocation

By extracting the exception handling block to a class, Lombok annotation SneakyThrow, Apache Commons Lang Failable stream API, and Varv functional library with Streams offers alternatives for handlezing the try/catch scenario embracing code pipe flow, thereby optimizing lambdas in the Streams. https://blog.frankel.ch/exceptions-lambdas/ When we package and ship our application to the clients, making it evident on the dependencies (both stated and transitive) used in the application aids clients in making informed decisions, adhering to any defined standards,
