Java: Stack vs Heap
Answer
G1GC optimizes by dividing the heap into regions and collecting them incrementally.
The G1 Garbage Collector divides the heap into many regions and tracks the amount of garbage in each. It prioritizes collecting regions with the most garbage, reducing the impact on application performance. This approach minimizes 'Stop-The-World' pauses, making it suitable for large applications like an e-commerce site during Black Friday. By collecting the most garbage-filled regions first, G1GC efficiently reclaims memory.
