Mastering the art of garbage collection

As we conclude our exploration of the JVM, it’s imperative to spotlight a critical aspect that profoundly influences application performance – the Garbage Collector. While we’ve touched on the principles of garbage collection, the intricacies of this process extend far beyond the scope of a single chapter. To delve deeper into this complex realm, we recommend immersing yourself in dedicated resources, such as Java Memory Management – a Comprehensive Guide to Garbage Collection and JVM Tuning by Maaike van Putten and Sean Kenned.

Garbage collection, the unsung hero of memory management, ensures the efficient allocation and deallocation of resources within the JVM. While we’ve provided foundational insights, Java Memory Management delves into the nuances of garbage collection algorithms, tuning strategies, and best practices. This book guides those seeking mastery in optimizing Java applications by fine-tuning...
