The text discusses the issue of memory leaks in Go programs and provides guidance on how to identify and investigate them. A memory leak occurs when a program fails to free up memory it no longer needs, leading to ever-increasing memory usage and potential system instability or application crashes. The article highlights several common causes of memory leaks in Go, including unbounded resource creation, long-lived references, goroutines, deferring function calls, and improper use of `time.Ticker`. It also discusses methods for identifying memory leaks, such as monitoring memory consumption over time, using code profiling tools like `pprof`, and employing continuous profiling techniques. The article concludes by emphasizing the importance of proactive detection and resolution of memory leaks in Go programs.
