I need to fix a problem with memory leaks, and I have found some talks and blog posts, but most of them seem to be about 10 years old. What would be the best source in 2026 to learn about the garbage collector?
Hi @math_trucker ,
These 3 articles provide some good explanations, tools and recommendations about that topic:
- Garbage Collection in Ruby - Peter Zhu
- 37signals Dev — My adventures hunting down a Ruby memory leak 🎢
- Adventures in Garbage Collection: Improving GC Performance in our Massive Monolith - Shopify
Even if they’re 2-3 years old, most of the information would be valid still.
