Is it possible to analyze memory usage from NodeJS program, in Visual Studio Code

Question

I tried searching both stackoverflow and vs code github repo.

Is it possible to analyze the memory consumption of a node.js program, being debugged in VS code?

Answer 1

VS Code does not have a builtin memory profiling story currently (as of 1.16). You should be able to use any standard node.js profiling technique to monitor memory though. For example:

• process.memoryUsage()
• memwatch-next
• Chrome devtools
