Java 21 introduces Virtual Threads and Structured Concurrency to address high-concurrency applications, making it more scalable and efficient.
Virtual Threads (JEP 444) are lightweight compared to traditional Java threads, allowing for tens of thousands of concurrent tasks managed by the JVM.
Structured Concurrency (JEP 453) offers a solution for managing parallel tasks, making code cleaner and more resource-efficient, with examples like microservices and reactive systems.
Java 21 redefines Java's approach to concurrency, emphasizing cleaner code, memory efficiency, and scalability, positioning Java as a modern and innovative language for developers.
