Virtual threads are lightweight threads that are managed by the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). Unlike traditional platform threads, which are tied directly to the operating systemโ€™s threads, virtual threads are decoupled from the OS, allowing them to be created and managed with minimal overhead. This enables Java applications to create a large number of threads without the performance penalties typically associated with platform threads.

Lightweight Nature: Since they are managed by the JVM rather than the OS, they can be created and destroyed with minimal resource consumption. This makes it feasible to have millions of virtual threads running concurrently.


Efficient Concurrency: With platform threads, Java applications could only handle a limited number of concurrent tasks due to the heavy overhead of each thread. Virtual threads, however, allow for a much higher level of concurrency, making it easier to handle tasks like processing large numbers of requests in a web server or performing extensive data processing.


Simplified Thread Management: Virtual threads simplify the management of concurrency in Java applications. Developers no longer need to worry about thread pooling or the complexities of managing large numbers of threads, as the JVM handles the scaling and resource allocation.
