Garbage Collection in Java - The progress since JDK 8

Garbage collection (GC) is a key feature of the Java Platform that enables automatic memory management, allowing developers to focus on solving problems other than low-level memory management.Since JDK 8, the GC performance have improved significantly, removing much of the overhead usually associated with automatic memory management.

In this video, we are exploring:
- the basics of GC
- what different GC algorithms are available and their key differences
- how to choose the right GC
- why upgrading to a recent JDK can improve the performance of your application
