JEP 387: Elastic Metaspace

Java 16 shipped and with it JEP 387: Elastic Metaspace. JEP 387 was massive, my most extensive OpenJDK contribution so far.

I have been so busy with this JEP that I never got around to write about it. But the work is done and I finally wrote an article for SAP:

If you prefer German: the german JavaMagazin approached me, and I wrote a second article for them in German, which got published in JavaMagazin 7-21:
