memory_profiler is a Ruby gem that reports memory usage and object allocations (allocated vs retained) by gem, file, location, and class. It can be used via a command-line wrapper or an in-code API.

Use cases

  • profile memory allocations in a ruby script
  • find which gems allocate the most memory
  • detect retained objects causing memory bloat
  • profile a command-line tool without modifying its code
  • track object allocations by file or class

When to choose

  • you need detailed allocation and retention reports for MRI Ruby 3.1+
  • you want zero-code-change profiling via the CLI wrapper
  • you need per-gem or per-file memory attribution

When to avoid

  • you use JRuby or another non-MRI Ruby implementation
  • you need sampling-based production profiling rather than full tracing
  • you need CPU or wall-time profiling instead of memory
