While I don't have any personal news to share this time, I'm excited to bring you an interesting Nuxt tip on how to analyze memory leaks. Dive in and enjoy this issue!

🔥 Analyze Memory Leaks in Your Nuxt App
In one of my client projects, we recently had to analyze and fix a memory leak in our Nuxt 3+ application. Let me share my experience and our steps to identify and fix the memory leak.
What is a Memory Leak?
A memory leak occurs when a program allocates memory but doesn't release it when it's no longer needed. Over time, this can lead to the exhaustion of system resources and the application crashing.
In our case, the memory leak caused our Kubernetes pods to restart frequently, forcing us to increase the resources allocated to the pods. However, this was only a temporary solution, and we had to find and fix the root cause of the memory leak.
Finding the Memory Leak
The first step in fixing a memory leak is identifying the root cause. Here are the steps we took to find the memory leak in our Nuxt application.
First, it's important to note that we use Hybrid Rendering in our application, which means that the server-side rendering (SSR) and client-side rendering (CSR) are combined. Technically, a Node.js server is deployed, so we had to monitor the memory usage of the Node.js process.
Step 1: Monitor Memory Usage
The first step is to monitor your application's memory usage. In our case, this only happened in production, so we had to monitor the memory usage of our application's production build.
To debug a production build of your Nuxt app in Visual Studio Code, you have to define a launch configuration in your .vscode/launch.json.vscode/launch.json file. Here is an example configuration:
In our scenario, we saw that the memory usage of the Node.js process increased over time and with each request, which indicated that there was a memory leak.
Step 3: Find the Root Cause
One approach to finding the root cause of a memory leak is to use git bisect to identify the commit that introduced the memory leak. This approach can be time-consuming, but it can help you narrow down the code that caused the memory leak.
In our project, we identified that we defined some watchers after an awaitawait in a Nuxt page component which caused the memory leak. Because we only needed those watchers on the client, we wrapped them in the onMountedonMounted lifecycle hook which fixed the memory leak.

Tuesday, August 20, 2024 My linkblog, which posts to the Links tab on Scripting News, as well as Bluesky , Mastodon and RSS , now also posts to Twitter and Threads . # Today would have been my mother's 92nd birthday. She died in 2018, and I still haven't, deep inside, fully gotten the message that she's gone. Probably the most significant person in my life. I find most of my adult relationships can be traced back to my relationship with her. # Ignore the NY Times # When President Biden took the stage last night at the DNC, I had a moment of buyer's remorse. He looked so good in his black suit, and the pictures of the new candidates, and their spouses, looked comical in comparison to the president who was about to speak. # Why did Walz have a permanent frown on his face. I find his presence next to Harris is almost always awkward. He's taller, and moves a lot. I noticed this with Sanders when he was debating Clinton in 2016. Sh...
Sunday, August 25, 2024 The problem with the state-by-state abortion laws that Trump says he favors: 1. The women in states that ban abortion who will die as a result of the bans, and many more who will be severely injured, and all will have their freedoms severely restricted. 2. He's lying. When Congress passes a national abortion ban he'll sign it and boast about it, of course . # If you're interested in languages and compiler compilers and how to bootstrap a scripting environment, then you'll enjoy the progress I've made in the project to get UserTalk running in today's environments. I welcome comments from experienced or curious language devs. # Walt Mossberg : "Journalists have one core job: to tell the truth, especially when it's clear. The staff of the NY Times has done it in the past, even at great risk. Why don't they do it now?" # My response : "We have no visibility into the inner workings of the NYT. We...
