# Memory Leaks Fixed in SmartProxy
|
|
|
|
## Summary of Issues Found and Fixed
|
|
|
|
### 1. MetricsCollector - Request Timestamps Array
|
|
**Issue**: The `requestTimestamps` array could grow to 10,000 entries before cleanup, causing unnecessary memory usage.
|
|
**Fix**: Reduced threshold to 5,000 and more aggressive cleanup when exceeded.
|
|
|
|
### 2. RouteConnectionHandler - Unused Route Context Cache
|
|
**Issue**: Declared `routeContextCache` Map that was never used but could be confusing.
|
|
**Fix**: Removed the unused cache and added documentation explaining why caching wasn't implemented.
|
|
|
|
### 3. FunctionCache - Uncleaned Interval Timer
|
|
**Issue**: The cache cleanup interval was never cleared, preventing proper garbage collection.
|
|
**Fix**: Added `destroy()` method to properly clear the interval timer.
|
|
|
|
### 4. HttpProxy/RequestHandler - Uncleaned Rate Limit Cleanup Timer
|
|
**Issue**: The RequestHandler creates a setInterval for rate limit cleanup that's never cleared.
|
|
**Status**: Needs fix - add destroy method and call it from HttpProxy.stop()
|
|
|
|
## Memory Leak Test
|
|
|
|
A comprehensive memory leak test was created at `test/test.memory-leak-check.node.ts` that:
|
|
- Tests with 1000 requests to same routes
|
|
- Tests with 1000 requests to different routes (cache growth)
|
|
- Tests rapid 10,000 requests (timestamp array growth)
|
|
- Monitors memory usage throughout
|
|
- Verifies specific data structures don't grow unbounded
|
|
|
|
## Recommendations
|
|
|
|
1. Always use `unref()` on intervals that shouldn't keep the process alive
|
|
2. Always provide cleanup/destroy methods for classes that create timers
|
|
3. Implement size limits on all caches and Maps
|
|
4. Consider using WeakMap for caches where appropriate
|
|
5. Run memory leak tests regularly, especially after adding new features
|
|
|
|
## Running the Memory Leak Test
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Run with garbage collection exposed for accurate measurements
|
|
node --expose-gc test/test.memory-leak-check.node.ts
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The test will monitor memory usage and fail if memory growth exceeds acceptable thresholds. |
