We discuss how concurrent compaction using Compare and Swap (CAS) operations helps speed up garbage collection algorithms and reduce response latencies.

This is the last piece of the puzzle in the garbage collection series. Cheers!

Garbage collection is a way of automatic memory management provided by modern programming languages like Java, Go, Python and JavaScript.
