Answer
Store large memory in native space and manually manage it. Native modules expose custom allocators, bypassing V8 GC and enabling predictable memory lifecycles.
Quick Answer
V8 doesn't expose GC control directly. For custom strategies: use weak references (WeakRef, FinalizationRegistry) to hold objects without preventing GC, implement object pooling in C++ native addons with explicit memory management, or use node --expose-gc (dev only) to call global.gc() at strategic points. In practice, tune GC via heap sizing flags rather than controlling it directly.
