Z Garbage Collector in Java

Java applications have diverse performance requirements, such as throughput, latency, and scalability. The Z Garbage Collector (ZGC) is designed to minimize pause times while efficiently managing large heap sizes. Unlike traditional garbage collectors that can cause significant application pauses, ZGC performs most of its work concurrently with the application, achieving minimal interruptions. This makes it ideal for high-demand environments like financial systems and large-scale cloud applications. The article includes a practical comparison between ZGC and G1 GC, showcasing ZGC's superior performance in maintaining low latency.
