Replit engineers identified and investigated a memory leak in the Replit Agent processes, which were running out of memory roughly once an hour. They used the memray profiler and Python's gc module to inspect heap allocations and find the cause of the leak.

## Evidence

Verbatim from https://replit.com/blog/finding-and-solving-memory-leaks:

> We had strong evidence that the agent processes were running out of memory roughly once an hour, and that likely means a memory leak.
