Dev Summit ’24 Session: JavaScript Memory Leaks
JavaScript Memory Leaks
Basarat Ali Syed, Founder BooleanArt
JavaScript is garbage collected, but we can still get memory leaks. This session walks through what is and what isn’t collectable by the garbage collector. We also cover some easy fixes to ensure you don’t hold on to memory you don’t need anymore. Finally, we look at modern weak data structures that library authors can utilise to simplify internal memory management.
