Hi Arbaz, and thanks for your awesome article. This was both clear and informative.

We came accross one major memory leak in our Nuxt application at work and we managed to find the root of the problem with the Chrome inspector and another package which I can't remember (but I do remember it was a pain to use), but I didn't know that module heapdump. It looks really easy to use. Next time I'll pick it!

And yes, Node.js (and even JavaScript) applications can have memory leaks. Some people have a hard time understanding this. And I think that the emphasis is not made enough when learning JavaScript in general. Next time I'll pinpoint them to your article for reference.
