The Real Reason Your App Crashes — Garbage Collection Explained

Garbage Collector in Java vs C++ — What Really Happens Behind the Code?
Welcome to the Low-Level Thinking Series, where we dig deep into what your code really does under the hood.

In this video, we explore the Garbage Collector in Java and compare it to manual memory management in C++ — with real demos, memory crashes, and a powerful analogy. You'll learn:

🧠 Why Java's GC can prevent crashes (but not always)
💥 What happens when C++ throws std::bad_alloc
🧪 How both languages handle allocating massive memory blocks
📱 Real-world applications of GC in Android and Spring Boot
🚀 A story from history: How a memory-related bug caused the $370M Ariane 5 rocket explosion

We don’t just show you the code — we show you what happens behind the code.
