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
