Java: OutOfMemoryErrors
Answer
It occurs when the JVM cannot allocate an object because it is out of heap memory.
An OutOfMemoryError is thrown when the JVM cannot allocate more objects due to lack of available heap space. This is often due to memory leaks, inefficient memory use, or simply not enough heap space allocated. In an e-commerce app during Black Friday, a sudden spike in traffic might lead to such errors if the heap is not properly sized.
