SUMMARY: This is a step-by-step overview of how to get Oink installed in your Rails app on Heroku, and use it to analyze your memory usage. Starts with a brief description of the problem space, skip down if you just want to get on with your Oink integration.
My stack includes these technologies: Rails 3, Unicorn, NewRelic, Heroku, Hodel3000CompliantLogger, and now Oink.
Why is understanding memory usage important? For me, it’s because Heroku routes traffic to my dynos randomly.
