During the course of execution, software programs accumulate several data objects that serve no purpose in the program and need to be let go. If not dealt with, they can keep eating up memory and significantly hamper performance. Garbage collection is the process of cleaning up all these useless data objects that continue to reside in memory. It frees up the corresponding RAM to make room for new program objects.

Application performance monitoring is vital for keeping software and gaming companies at a level above with providing effective data and cloud usage for applications, software, and platforms for their employees and customers. The rise of remote working has coincided with a boom in streaming, gaming, and other virtual activities. This has led to increased usability, and performance management challenges for gaming and software organizations.
Recently our CMO, Nik Koutsoukos, and VP Operations, Tony Ferelli, joined Heavy Network on a podcast discussing Digital Experience Monitoring, and how effective monitoring requires a focus on the user experience. Most monitoring tools monitor from the network or application perspective. Now that microservices and multi-cloud environments are commonly used, monitoring is more challenging. The better monitoring approach is being user-centric.
