“Netflix has switched by default from G1 to Generational ZGC on JDK 21 and later, because of the significant benefits of concurrent garbage collection.

“More than half of our critical streaming video services are now running on JDK 21 with Generational ZGC, so it’s a good time to talk about our experience and the benefits we’ve seen.”

They state that customers "contractually consent" to such use, but good luck finding it in their Terms of Service. There also doesn't appear to be a way to withdraw consent, but I may have missed that.

@fedora Gosh that's sweet. Our posting is as slow as our release cycle, but here's a belated poem:

Roses are red
Fedoras are blue
We couldn't exist
Without all that you do

You're the best, really.
