Have you ever configured automatic garbage collection in your projects?

Answer from AI
In Java, automatic garbage collection (Garbage Collection, GC) is enabled by default and managed by the JVM. In my projects, I configured GC parameters to optimize performance, such as choosing the appropriate collector type (G1, Parallel, CMS) and adjusting heap sizes to reduce pauses and increase throughput.
Example of JVM configuration for using G1 GC with pause time limit:
java -XX:+UseG1GC -XX:MaxGCPauseMillis=200 -Xms512m -Xmx2g -jar myapp.jar
I also analyzed garbage collection logs using tools (e.g., GCViewer) to understand application behavior and adjust parameters accordingly.
