Garbage Collection is a facet often disregarded and underestimated, yet beneath its surface lies the potential for profound impacts on your organization that reach far beyond the realm of application performance. In this post, we embark on a journey to unravel the pivotal role of Garbage Collection analysis and explore seven critical points that underscore its significance.
Improve Application Response Time Without Code Changes
Automatic garbage collection (GC) is a critical memory management process, but it introduces pauses in applications. These pauses occur when GC scans and reclaims memory occupied by objects that are no longer in use. Depending on various factors, these pauses can range from milliseconds to several seconds or even minutes. During these pauses, no application transactions are processed, causing customer requests to be stranded.
