Language-Specific Integration ​

Java CI/CD Integration ​

yaml
# GitHub Actions example
- name: Memory Leak Test
  run: |
    mvn test -Dtest=MemoryLeakTest
    java -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -jar app.jar &
    # Run load tests
    # Analyze heap dumps

Node.js CI/CD Integration ​

yaml
# Memory testing with Clinic.js
- name: Memory Profile
  run: |
    npm install -g clinic
    clinic doctor -- node app.js &
    # Run memory tests
    # Generate reports

Go CI/CD Integration ​

yaml
# Go memory benchmarks
- name: Memory Benchmarks
  run: |
    go test -bench=. -memprofile=mem.prof
    go tool pprof -top mem.prof
