The peek method allows you to inspect each element in the pipeline without altering the stream.Break down the pipeline into smaller parts for better visibility.Integrate logging into your stream operations to monitor the flow of data.Parallel streams can speed up computation for large datasets by leveraging multiple CPU cores.Combine operations where possible to avoid excessive intermediate operations.Stateful operations like sorted and distinct can lead to memory overhead. Limit their use, especially on large datasets.Utilize specialized streams (IntStream, LongStream, DoubleStream) for numerical data to avoid boxing and unboxing overhead.Use short-circuiting operations like limit and findFirst to terminate pipelines as soon as possible.
