Hence, if you are writing something mundane, like another REST API, choosing a proper GC should be the least of your concerns.
Indeed, if you are writing a program that can accommodate arbitrary long pauses, picking a throughput-focused stop-the-world GC like ParallelGC is a valid thing to do. A good example of such workload is a batch processing task — you don't care about hiccups along the way as long as the final result arrives on time.
