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. Each of these errors is a canceled request resulting in a retry so this reduction further reduces overall service traffic by this rate: Errors rates per second.
