Answer
Virtual Threads are lightweight threads that enable high concurrency.
Virtual Threads, introduced with Project Loom, allow Java applications to handle a massive number of concurrent tasks efficiently. Unlike traditional threads, they are not tied to OS threads, allowing the JVM to manage them more flexibly and efficiently. For instance, in an e-commerce flash sale, Virtual Threads can handle thousands of checkout requests simultaneously without overwhelming the server resources.
