JVM Performance Tuning

JVM performance tuning is the systematic process of adjusting the parameters of the Java Virtual Machine to optimize an application's speed, efficiency, and responsiveness. This practice involves a deep analysis of the application's behavior using profiling tools to identify bottlenecks, followed by the strategic modification of JVM settings related to memory management (e.g., heap size), garbage collection (GC) algorithms and their configurations, and Just-In-Time (JIT) compilation. The ultimate goal is to achieve specific performance targets, such as reducing latency, increasing throughput, or minimizing resource consumption, thereby ensuring the application runs reliably and efficiently under its expected workload.
