Module Reference
gc
Trigger garbage collection manually inside Cloud Code.
What This Adds In Cloud Code
- Manual GC trigger for memory-heavy jobs.
- Can reduce pressure after large in-memory transformations.
- Simple success indicator (
true).
Quick Start
const gc = require('gc');
await processLargeBatch();
gc.run();API
| Function | Params | Returns | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
run() | none | boolean | Runs GC cycle and returns true. |
Practical Example
const gc = require('gc');
Nimbu.Cloud.job('cleanup-large-export', async () => {
await buildArchive();
gc.run();
});Failure Modes & Gotchas
- Use only when needed; avoid calling in tight loops.
- Does not replace proper streaming/chunking design.
