Z Garbage Collector: Look Ma, ~No Pause!

Are your application's tail-latencies holding it back from delivering its near-real time SLOs? Do your in-memory processing platform's long pauses only get worse with increasing heap sizes? How about those latency spikes causing variability in your end-to-end latency for your multi-tiered distributed systems?

If any of the above keep you up at night, then have no fear as Z Garbage Collector (GC) is here and is production ready in JDK 15.

In this talk, Monica Beckwith will cover the basics of Z GC and contrast it with G1 GC (the current default collector for OpenJDK JDK 11 LTS and tip).
