I would also suggest few things to track down the issue further:
Creating a rails app with just one endpoint and all the gems used in DEV, to determine the normal from the abnormal memory usage.
Using a memory profiler and determining which endpoints account for the majority of the memory usage.
After pinpointing the bottlenecks, you might consider switching their implementations into a faster one like C/Go/Rust (I suspect the serialization and deserialization are the culprits).
All that above matters if there is some real financial pain, otherwise it's not worth pursuing 😁
Go faster, off the Rails - Benchmarks for your whole Rails app
Derailed Benchmarks
A series of things you can use to benchmark a Rails or Ruby app.
Compatibility/Requirements
This gem has been tested and is known to work with Rails 3.2+ using Ruby
2.1+. Some commands may work on older versions of Ruby, but not all commands are supported.
For some benchmarks, not all, you'll need to verify you have a working version of curl on your OS:
$ which curl
/usr/bin/curl
$ curl -V
curl 7.37.1 #
Install
Put this in your gemfile:
gem'derailed_benchmarks',group: :development
Then run $ bundle install.
While executing your commands you may need to use bundle exec before typing the command.
To use all profiling methods available also add:
gem'stackprof',group: :development
You must be using Ruby 2.1+ to install these libraries. If you're on an older version of Ruby, what are you waiting for?
Great job Rhymes and Molly!
