Java: Stack vs Heap
Answer
ZGC minimizes pause times by using concurrent garbage collection.
The Z Garbage Collector (ZGC) is designed to handle large heaps with very low pause times, typically in the range of milliseconds. It achieves this by performing most of its work concurrently with the application, reducing the impact of garbage collection on performance. This makes ZGC suitable for applications requiring high throughput and low latency, like large-scale e-commerce platforms during sales events.
