A native Node.js module for detecting and isolating memory leaks. It emits leak and heap stats events and provides a HeapDiff class to compare heap snapshots over time.
Use cases
- detect memory leaks in node.js app
- diff v8 heap snapshots
- monitor heap usage after garbage collection
- find what objects are growing in memory
- force full garbage collection for debugging
When to choose
- you need leak detection without special instrumentation
- you want programmatic leak events and heap trend stats
- you need to isolate leaks by diffing heap allocations
When to avoid
- you need actively maintained tooling - the project has no license and infrequent releases
- you only need basic heap profiling - built-in Node.js inspector may suffice
- you are not on the V8/Node.js runtime
