Memory Leaks

Ruby’s garbage collector should automatically clean up unused objects, but memory leaks can occur if objects are not properly deallocated. Frequent garbage collection can lead to slower execution times.

Here you can learn more how to track memory leaks.

Memory leaks can be very unproductive and difficult to fix, and you will probably spend more time trying to fix them than actually building code. The best way to get rid of them is to avoid them at the beginning. That doesn’t mean you need premature optimization; just keeping your code clean should be enough.
