I have a flask application that uses pony as its ORM. The application incrementally increases its memory usage with every request to the service. I need to measure the memory usage of different parts of the program to find the problem.
Unfortunately, as the program does not return its execution and is always running I could not use memory profiling tools such as memory_profiler. How can I profile memory usage of a continuously running application?

    memory_profiler can write to stream or standard log file. Commented Jan 30, 2020 at 22:15

    Please take a look at perf-mem, perf-kmem and pref-record. You can continuously record stats with perf-record and then analyse using perf-stat. Commented Apr 9, 2022 at 12:54
