Ending the Plague of Memory Leaks
summary
Memory leaks in long‑running single page apps cause crashes and hard‑to‑reproduce failures; the concrete solution is an addon that records a heap snapshot after test suite teardown, searches for retained instances of app or addon classes, and fails CI when retained classes exist. It uses DevTools/Chrome tooling, integrates with Ember's test harness and ember test server, and speeds diagnosis from minutes to seconds. The author reports finding leaks in app code, addons, and even an Ember release and shows the addon prevents introducing new leaks: ember-cli-memory-leak-detector.
