Practice items tagged with Garbage Collection.
Introduces managed heap cleanup, generational collection, object lifetime, and why allocation behavior affects .NET services.
Covers allocation rate, collection frequency, latency symptoms, and safe production steps for GC-heavy services.
Clarifies the difference between objects being retained accidentally and code simply allocating too much temporary memory.
Explains how GC roots retain reachable object graphs and turns heap evidence into a concrete ownership fix for static state, events, closures, queues, and caches.
Distinguishes deterministic cleanup from finalization and explains resource ownership in normal application code.
Identifies useful memory and GC signals for alerting without overwhelming the team with noisy telemetry.
