Changes
This PR introduces a new feature flag,
adServiceManualGC
, for the ad service. When activated, the ad service periodically fills up its heap and then performs full garbage collections. This is an interesting, real world observability scenario because it simulates memory problems in the application which afaik no feature flag does this way. Metrics that monitor heap and memory usage are automatically captured by the Java agent. Looking forward to your feedback!Merge Requirements
