Description: The ‘OutOfMemoryError’ occurs when the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) cannot allocate memory for a new object because it has run out of available memory. This issue is common in applications that require a large amount of resources, such as those built using Java. The JVM manages memory through a process known as garbage collection, which frees up memory occupied by objects that are no longer needed. However, if the application consumes more memory than the JVM can provide, this error is generated. Causes can include inadequate memory configurations, memory leaks in the code, or simply a workload that exceeds the system’s capacity. This error can manifest as runtime exceptions, which can lead to service interruption and affect user experience. Therefore, it is crucial for developers to monitor and optimize memory usage in their applications to avoid such errors, ensuring optimal performance and greater stability in the production environment.
