If that's your memory management strategy, then what do you actually gain by using Java?

May as well just use C and never free your memory. Lots of memory management issues go away if you never free memory.

Not all your services/code needs to have the lowest latencies so you can have a team which just needs to be able to translate the business requirements and a couple of people to optimise the critical code.
