Answer
It collects garbage incrementally by heap regions.
Unlike traditional garbage collectors that often require a full heap collection, G1GC collects garbage incrementally by focusing on specific heap regions. This approach not only helps maintain pause time predictability but also improves overall application throughput. For a transaction-heavy application, this means less frequent service interruptions.
