Symptoms of a Memory Problem

Memory issues rarely announce themselves cleanly. Watch for these patterns:

Slowly rising RSS that never drops
Increasing latency from longer GC pauses
Periodic OOM kills and restarts

This lesson covers diagnosing them in production.

Leak vs Bloat vs Churn

Distinguish three failure modes:

Leak: memory grows unbounded and is never freed
Bloat: high but stable usage from large caches
Churn: rapid allocate/free cycles stressing the GC

Each needs a different fix.

Reading the Memory Curve

Plot memory over time. A leak shows a steadily climbing baseline even after GC. Bloat shows a high but flat line. Healthy services have a sawtooth that resets after each collection.

leak:   /\/\/\/  (baseline climbs)
healthy: /|/|/|  (baseline flat)

Heap Snapshots

A heap snapshot captures every live object at a moment in time. Take two snapshots minutes apart and compare: objects that grew between them are your leak suspects.

# python
import tracemalloc
tracemalloc.start()
snap1 = tracemalloc.take_snapshot()
# ... run workload ...
snap2 = tracemalloc.take_snapshot()
for stat in snap2.compare_to(snap1, 'lineno')[:10]:
    print(stat)

Dominator Trees and Retainers

An object stays alive because something retains it. The retainer chain shows who is holding the reference. The dominator tree shows which single object, if freed, would release the most memory.

Follow retainers to find the unintended reference keeping memory alive.

Common Leak Sources

Most leaks come from a handful of patterns:

Caches without eviction limits
Event listeners never unregistered
Growing global collections
Closures capturing large objects

# unbounded cache = leak
cache = {}
def get(k):
    if k not in cache:
        cache[k] = expensive(k)
    return cache[k]

Allocation Profiling

For GC churn, you care about allocation rate, not live size. An allocation profiler shows which call sites create the most short-lived objects, which is what keeps the collector busy.

Understanding GC Pauses

Long GC pauses spike latency. Causes include too-small heaps forcing frequent collection, or huge heaps making each collection slow.

Correlate pause times in GC logs with your latency tracing to confirm GC is the culprit before tuning.

GC pause: 412ms  heap_before: 3.8G  heap_after: 1.1G

Tuning vs Fixing

GC tuning (heap size, collector choice) treats symptoms. Reducing allocations or fixing a leak treats the cause. Always prefer the fix; tune only to buy time or smooth a fundamentally healthy workload.

Safely Capturing Data in Production

Heap dumps can pause the process and contain sensitive data. Capture on a canary instance pulled from rotation, store dumps securely, and prefer sampling profilers with low overhead for always-on insight.

A Memory Debugging Workflow

Putting it together:

Confirm leak vs bloat vs churn from the memory curve
Take and diff heap snapshots
Follow retainer chains to the holding reference
For churn, use allocation profiling
Fix the cause; tune GC only as needed

Quick Check

Test your understanding of memory debugging.

Recap

You learned to debug memory problems in live services.

Tell leaks from bloat and churn via the memory curve
Diff heap snapshots and follow retainers
Profile allocations for GC churn
Fix causes; tune GC only to smooth healthy load
