Java: Generational GC
Answer
Higher object creation rate. Frame the concept in practical terms so you can explain it during interview discussion.
During high traffic, such as Black Friday, an e-commerce app may create more transient objects, increasing the load on garbage collection. If the JVM frequently collects garbage, it can lead to longer collection times and application pauses. Understanding this helps in tuning the JVM to handle peak loads efficiently.
