Summary:A method, information processing system, and computer readable storage medium, periodically monitor, with a processing system, information related to an application's memory usage including a maximum heap memory size, an in use heap memory size, and a garbage collection activity level. Based on determining that the garbage collection activity level is below a first threshold, estimating an amount of memory that can be released from the application by reducing the maximum heap memory size. Based on determining that the estimated amount of memory that can be released from the application is above a second threshold, attempting to release memory from the application.
