Memory leaks in SPA: prevention, detection, and remediation methods

This article addresses the issue of memory leaks in modern single-page applications (SPAs). By investigating the causes of leaks associated with dynamic content updates, active interaction with the document object model (DOM) interface, and asynchronous operations, developers gain insights into avoiding the excessive accumulation of unused objects in memory. The article discusses methods for preventing and addressing leaks, including the use of weak references, component state management, and optimizing asynchronous requests. It also emphasizes the importance of using monitoring tools, such as Chrome DevTools, and integrating automated testing into the continuous integration (CI) and continuous delivery (CD) process. The article offers a comprehensive approach for efficient memory management and preventing performance issues in SPA applications.
