The Z Garbage Collector (ZGC) is designed to minimize pause times while efficiently managing large heap sizes. Unlike traditional garbage collectors that can cause significant application pauses, ZGC performs most of its work concurrently with the application, achieving minimal interruptions. This makes it ideal for high-demand environments like financial systems and large-scale cloud applications. The article includes a practical comparison between ZGC and G1 GC, showcasing ZGC's superior performance in maintaining low latency. 26 2 2. 2 [](https://daily.dev/posts/spring-boot-3-4-0-available-now-tve8vh8r7 "Spring Boot 3.4.0 available now") Article Awesome Java Newsletter · 2y Spring Boot 3.4.0 available now Spring Boot 3.4.0 has been released.

However, it points out the significant overhead added by various build tools such as Maven, Gradle, and Mill. Benchmarks show Mill performing better than Maven and Gradle, but all build tools still introduce substantial delays compared to direct compilation with javac. Optimizing for a warm, long-lived JVM can dramatically improve compilation speed, emphasizing the need for more efficient build tools. 11 [See all Awesome Java Newsletter archives](/sources/java%5Flibhunt/best-of) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"CollectionPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/sources/java_libhunt/best-of/2024/11#page","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/java_libhunt/best-of/2024/11","name":"Best Awesome Java Newsletter Posts — November 2024","description":"The most upvoted Awesome Java Newsletter posts from November 2024, curated by the daily.dev community.","isPartOf":{"@type":"WebSite","url":"https://daily.dev"}},{"@type":"ItemList","@id":"https://daily.dev/sources/java_libhunt/best-of/2024/11#items","numberOfItems":3,"itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/z-garbage-collector-in-java-hmwdi8fan","name":"Z Garbage Collector in Java"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/spring-boot-3-4-0-available-now-tve8vh8r7","name":"Spring Boot 3.4.0 available now"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/how-fast-does-java-compile-the-mill-jvm-build-tool-nuir4muum","name":"How Fast Does Java Compile? :: The Mill JVM Build Tool"}]},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Sources","item":"https://daily.dev/sources"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Awesome Java Newsletter","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/java_libhunt"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":4,"name":"Best of","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/java_libhunt/best-of"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":5,"name":"November 2024"}]}]} ```
