Virtual Threads

Virtual threads are a software technology that makes handling many tasks at once more efficient. Imagine traditional threads as separate workers each doing a job; virtual threads are like lightweight assistants that handle multiple small tasks quickly, without needing full resources for each. This allows programs to manage thousands of simultaneous activities—like multiple users or tasks—more smoothly and with less resource use. Virtual threads improve performance in applications by making concurrency easier to manage, leading to faster, more scalable software without requiring complex, heavy-duty resources.
