Setting up Prometheus to scrape your targets for metrics is usually just one part of your larger observability strategy. The other piece in the equation is figuring out what you want your metrics to tell you and when and how often you should know about it.

A memory leak is a situation where unused objects occupy unnecessary space in memory. Unused objects are typically removed by the Java Garbage Collector (GC) but in cases where objects are still being referenced, they are not eligible to be removed. As a result, these unused objects are unnecessarily maintained in memory. Memory leaks block access to resources and cause an application to consume more memory over time, leading to degrading system performance.
