I have an app that regularly logs "critical" Soft Memory errors after roughly 1k requests to a given process.
I've looked at all the obvious potential causes (global variables, etc.) but see nothing in my code that should lead to a memory leak. All cross-request state ends up either in memcache or the data store. I have a few questions: 1. My understanding is that this is about leaks. But can a single request that consumes a lot of memory at once cause this error? 2. App Engine logs this as "critical" but it seems to me to be "warning"-level information: we're basically looking at a performance issue, right? 3. Most importantly, can anyone recommend tools to track down memory leaks on my local `dev_appserver.py` instance? I've been looking at both Heapy (part of Guppy) and Dowser, but getting them in a running dev_appserver instance seems tricky -- they both require native extensions.
