intern() is an interesting function in java.lang.String object. intern() function eliminates duplicate string objects from the application and has potential to reduce overall memory consumption of your application. To understand how string intern() function works you may refer to this interesting blog. Intern strings are stored in a string pool in the JVM memory. JVM Memory has following regions:

Recently we confronted an interesting ‘java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Metaspace’ problem in a Microservice application. This Microservice application will run smoothly for initial few hours, later it will start to throw java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Metaspace. In this post let me share the steps we pursued to troubleshoot this problem.

Java Heap fragmentation is an interesting problem, which triggers long pausing full garbage collection cycles. In this article we would like to attempt to explain the heap fragmentation.
Let’s say developer write a code ‘new BMW()’. This will create a new BMW object in the heap memory space. Example:

Since we are analyzing thousands of Garbage Collection logs every single day through our GCeasy tool, we are noticing several java applications still continuing to use ‘-XX:+UseCompressedOops’ JVM argument. Actually, it’s not required to pass ‘-XX:+UseCompressedOops’ JVM argument if you are running in Java SE 6 update 23 and later. Compressed oops is supported and enabled by default in Java SE 6u23 and later versions.

At the time (March 2020) of writing this article there are 600+ arguments that you can pass to JVM just around Garbage collection and memory. If you include other aspects, total JVM arguments count will easily cross 1000+. 😊. It’s way too many arguments for anyone to digest and comprehend. In this article, we are highlighting seven important JVM arguments that you may find it useful.

JVM memory has multiple regions, some are known (Young Generation, Old Generation, Metaspace). Some are unknown (Threads, JNI, Socket Buffers,…). You will understand the purpose of each region in JVM memory. Continue reading “JVM MEMORY – LEARN EASILY (VIDEO)”
