Monica is a Java Champion, Speaker, Java Performance Engineer, and IC Leader of the JVM Group at Microsoft. Paul Bakker is a Software Engineer at Netflix. He is also a Java Champion, author of multiple published books, and a speaker. Monica started this interview by discussing what ZGC is and what its generational and non-generational modes are. Paul discussed the target audience for this JEP – is it only for Java Performance Engineers, JVM team leads, senior developers, or all Java developers? Monica helped us understand more about garbage collectors in general by talking about what kind of applications would benefit from different garbage collectors, such as Serial, Parallel, Shenandoah, G1GC, or ZGC. Paul talked about the hands-on usage of the ZGC with generational mode and how this has helped Netflix cut down heavily on resource usage, resulting in lower costs.
