Thread dumps capture the state of all threads to analyze performance bottlenecks.
Thread dumps provide a snapshot of all threads' states in the JVM, helping diagnose performance issues like deadlocks or high CPU usage. During heavy loads, such as a Black Friday event, analyzing thread dumps can reveal blocked threads, helping identify and resolve bottlenecks. For example, if threads are stuck waiting for database connections, the dump will show these threads as blocked.
