Optimize Ruby garbage collection activity with Datadog's allocations profiler

Ruby's garbage collection (GC) feature optimizes programmer happiness by automatically managing application memory. However, as applications grow, GC itself can consume significant system resources leading to high CPU usage and performance issues such as increased latency or reduced throughput. To address this, Datadog's Continuous Profiler surfaces garbage collection activity in both its flame graph and thread timeline visualizations. The new allocations profiler in version 2.3.0 of the Datadog tracing library allows developers to investigate which parts of an application are allocating the most memory, helping diagnose and resolve GC resource consumption issues in Ruby applications.
