Answer from AI

To avoid memory leaks when using Batch in Go, it is necessary to:

  • Release resources after processing each batch of data (e.g., close files, connections).
  • Avoid accumulating large amounts of data in memory — process data in parts and clear unnecessary references.
  • Use memory profiling (pprof) to identify leaks.
  • Ensure proper use of slices and maps to avoid holding references to large objects.
  • When working with channels — close them when they are no longer needed.

Example of clearing a slice after processing:

batch := make([]Data, 0, batchSize)
// process batch
batch = batch[:0] // clear the slice to free memory
