Memory Profiling and Optimization
Memory profiling is the process of analyzing a program’s memory consumption while it is running. This analysis helps identify where and how memory is used, which parts of the code are memory-intensive, and what triggers memory allocation. Performance optimization in software development often sparks strong opinions among programmers. On one side, an excessive focus on optimizing performance can lead developers down time-consuming rabbit holes, potentially derailing projects and causing delays. Conversely, even minor issues can transform into significant bottlenecks or even more severe problems when multiplied across large systems.
In .NET, this involves analyzing applications’ memory usage while running. This ...
