The AssertJ Recursive Comparison might be a good candidate for your use case:
assertj.github.io/doc/#assertj...

An AssertJ code snippet that demonstrates how the recursive comparison can be used to ignore fields of a specific type:

```
record Person(String name, Instant birthday) {}

@Test
void test() {
var person1 = new Person("John", Instant.EPOCH);
var person2 = new Person("John", Instant.now());

assertThat(person1)
.usingRecursiveComparison()
.ignoringFieldsOfTypes(Instant.class)
.isEqualTo(person2);
}

For my first post on Bluesky, I'm really happy to announce that I just released AssertJ-DB 3.0.0 with some major changes:

- Cacheable database schema metadata
- Fluent API

The cache feature should really speed up your test suite if it contains a lot of change assertions
