I have a question about memory management in Java. For example, in what situations does the automatic garbage collection kick in? How can its performance impact be optimized? I'm interested in both the general architecture and practical approaches.
How does memory management work in Java?

Java's memory management is honestly a heavy burden on the JVM's shoulders, bro. The garbage collector (GC) usually kicks in when objects are no longer in use and references are nullified, but you can also trigger it manually with System.gc() if you want to see when it happens. To optimize performance, you gotta manage the heap size with -Xms and -Xmx settings or look into generational strategies for young/old objects, fam.
