Practice items tagged with Memory Leaks.
Chooses heap-focused GC evidence or complete process state based on memory growth, roots, hangs, crashes, locks, and collection risk.
Connects EF Core change tracking to object retention, query shape, projections, and read-only API performance.
Shows how publisher-to-subscriber references can retain objects and how to clean up event-based lifetimes.
Explains when to capture dumps, what to compare, and how to use roots without turning dumps into guesswork.
Uses file upload processing to practice bounded memory, stream ownership, temporary files, and retained buffers.
Gives a practical incident flow for memory growth using metrics, traffic correlation, heap evidence, and safe mitigation.
