Possible optimized record construction in order to use as DTO

[John Hendrikx]

You can consider using an annotation processor to create builders for 
such records -- for records with that many parameters, that's probably a 
good idea anyway.

Although Lombok is often used for this, there are alternatives as well.  
I can recommend taking a look at 
https://github.com/Randgalt/record-builder

If you are only "mapping" such records instead of creating them 
manually, you may take a look at mapping frameworks (like mapstruct).
