Possible memory leak (dev mode)

See original GitHub issue

I’ve installed a fresh CLI blog locally and did many post updates within 1-2minutes. I saw that the memory went up quite fast (~200mb).

I’ve compared this without using the CLI and the memory was stable at around ~80mb 🤔

Last week or so i’ve imported a quite large database into the CLI and the memory went over 1GB. I’ve tried it without the CLI and memory was stable.

We need to investigate if this behaviour only happens in development mode. Furthermore we should figure out what’s going on.

Steps to reproduce

ghost install local
create posts
publish posts
update posts
get wild
look at the memory usage

Technical details

env: development Ghost-CLI Version: latest OS: mac os

We found what the issue was. Looks like setting NODE_ENV=development explicitly enables Bluebird’s debug mode, which is what was using all the memory. (see this link)

Closing this as any changes to fix this would need to happen in Ghost itself.

I’ve debugged some more this morning.

If i comment out this line, the memory issue is gone 🤔

I have no idea why yet.
