A thread, in the context of Java, is the path followed when executing a program. All Java programs have at least one thread, known as the main thread, which is created by the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) at the program’s start, when the main() method is invoked with the main thread. In Java, creating a thread is accomplished by implementing an interface and extending a class. Every Java thread is created and controlled by the java.lang.Thread class.
For many, the world of Java is shrouded in mystery and endeavor. One such endeavor is garbage collection. There is many a viewpoint on garbage collection – whether it is good or bad, when is it needed, how often should it run, how to tune garbage collection operation, how to know when it is not operating as expected, and so on. In this educational post, we will try to clear the air on Java garbage collection and make it easy for developers and administrators to deal with it.

There are multiple reasons why Java and the Java Virtual Machine-based languages are very popular among developers. A rich ecosystem with lots of open-source frameworks that can be easily incorporated and used is only one of them. The second, in my opinion, is the automatic memory management with a powerful garbage collector. The Java garbage collector, or in short, the GC, takes care of cleaning up the unused bits and pieces.

This is one of a series of blogs in which we introduce AppScope 1.0 with stories that demonstrate how AppScope changes the game for SREs and developers, as well as Infosec, DevSecOps, and ITOps practitioners. In the coming weeks, Part 2 of this post will tackle another Infosec use case. If you’re in Infosec, at some point you’ve doubtless had to vet an application before it’s allowed to run in an enterprise environment.
Early Twitter was an adventure. Every day was an open question: would you be able to log in or did the next big story crash the platform? It was taking off and crashing and flying and crashing again.
