At Railsconf a few weeks ago I managed to get two of my favorite talks on video. Two weeks ago I published John Athayde’s talk on Beautiful Markup, and today I’m happy to publish Joe Damato’s talk on Garbage Collection & the Ruby Heap. If you really want to learn how to finely tune your Ruby interpreter and find memory leaks, then you’ll want to pay close attention to his talk. If you’re looking for additional information about Scaling Ruby, you may want to grab the EnvyCast I produced on the topic.
