DongDuong2001 Memory Debugging Skill
This skill is designed for identifying and resolving memory leaks and excessive memory footprint allocations.
When to use this skill
- When an application slowly consumes more RAM over time without releasing it (Memory Leak).
- When facing OutOfMemoryError (OOM) crashes.
- When optimizing Garbage Collection (GC) pauses causing latency.
Guidelines
- Heap Dumps: Export and analyze heap dumps or memory snapshots to find retained objects.
- Closures & Listeners: In GC languages, look out for un-unregistered event listeners or dangling closures capturing large scopes.
- Connections: Ensure database and network connections are gracefully closed.
- Streaming: Avoid loading large files or datasets entirely into memory. Use streaming APIs instead.
