Serial GC Tuning

Tailored for simplicity and effectiveness, the Serial GC operates with a single-threaded approach, making it particularly relevant for smaller-scale applications and scenarios where stringent latency requirements aren’t the primary concern. In this post, we will explore techniques to tune Serial GC for enhanced performance specifically. However, if you want to learn more basics, you may watch this Garbage Collection tuning talk delivered at the JAX London conference.

How To Enable Serial GC

You can enable the Serial Garbage Collector in your Java application by adding the following JVM argument when launching your application:
