A practical rundown of tools and techniques for tracking down memory use in Rust, drawn from profiling the Forest Filecoin node. From heaptrack and gperftools/pprof to dhat and valgrind, here’s what worked, what didn’t, and how to spot OOM risks.

Immutability was never just technical. From stone tablets to CIDs, we’ve always tried to make memory last. In blockchains, it’s a core tenet, data sealed by consensus. In Filecoin, it's a web of incentives, proofs, and people choosing not to forget.

Authored by Ben Adar Forest Update A lot has been accomplished since we began this project nine months ago. The team is making great progress towards having a complete Filecoin node implementation written in Rust. During the first six months, the majority of our effort went towards building the Virtual
