Ryszard Szymanski tracks memory utilization:
R/Shiny allows you to prototype a working web application quickly and easily. However, with increasing amounts of data, your app may become slow and, in extreme cases, crash due to insufficient memory.
When the worst-case scenario happens, we need to figure out a way to lower the memory usage of our app to avoid those crashes.
A crucial part of optimization efforts is benchmarking how much memory our app is consuming. This allows us to check if the changes we made to the app are indeed moving us in the right direction.
In this step-by-step guide, we will describe how to do that based on an example application.
Read on for the process and how you can diagnose memory problems. H/T R-Bloggers.
