A quick google search should give you several good articles on finding
memory leaks in node. There have also been discussions here which you can
search.
I have never seen anything written about minimizing memory usage. Maybe
someone else can help. This may be obvious, but the only thing I can think
of is to make sure your variables go out of scope so they are
garbage-collected, especially the big ones. Because of closures it can be
easy to accidentally keep something in scope. A closure is created every
time a function is created and as long as that function is kept then all
the closure data is kept.
globalObj = {};
globalObj.func = function () {
bigArray = [];
for (i=1; i<1e6; i++) bigArray.push(i);
return function () { console.log(bigArray.length) };
}()
You might thing bigArray is local and will be garbage collected. However,
it is in the closure for the tiny function stored in globalObj.func so it
will occupy memory as long as globalObj.func stays around.
