Java: Stack vs Heap
Answer
They optimize collection frequency and efficiency.
The young generation is collected more frequently because objects here are short-lived, which improves efficiency. The old generation holds objects that have survived multiple collections, reducing the frequency of major collections. In high-load scenarios, like a flash sale, this helps manage memory effectively by quickly reclaiming short-lived objects.
