ZGC vs Shenandoah

[ghost]

Q: Compare low-latency garbage collectors.

[shivrajcodez]

G1 Garbage Collector → balanced, predictable pauses, default in modern JVMs
Z Garbage Collector → ultra-low pause (<10ms), great for large heaps
Shenandoah GC → concurrent compaction, very low pauses
Parallel GC → high throughput, but longer pauses
TL;DR:
General use → G1
Lowest latency → ZGC / Shenandoah
Max throughput → Parallel GC
