ZGC - The Future of Low-Latency Garbage Collection in Java

Explore the Z Garbage Collector (ZGC), a scalable low-latency garbage collector for Java that delivers sub-millisecond max pause times. Dive into the design principles behind ZGC, examine its performance characteristics, and learn how to optimize its usage to minimize latency in your applications. Gain insights into the ongoing development efforts to transform ZGC into a generational garbage collector. This 27-minute conference talk, presented by Erik Österlund from Oracle, offers valuable knowledge for Java developers seeking to enhance application performance through advanced garbage collection techniques.
