Architecting with Garbage Collection in Mind

Douglas Hawkins

LEAD DEVELOPER JAVA PERFORMANCE MONITORING AT DATADOG

01 / ABOUT THIS SESSION

HotSpot provides a variety of garbage collectors with a variety of strengths and weaknesses. To get the most out of our applications, we need to pick the right garbage collector and design to take advantage of its strengths and avoid its
weaknesses.

In this presentation, you'll learn about criteria for picking a garbage collector, how to measure GC performance, and how to write code that works with rather than against the GC.
