Advice/techniques on debugging web memory leak

I am a long time XOJO/Realbasic desktop developer who just started using the web target recently. A lot of things have gone exceedingly well, but my main application leaks memory to the point where it it either crashes or ought to be restarted every 3-4 days.

Is there a guide or SOP on techniques to help track these down? I develop on Windows but have to deploy on Alma Linux. I cannot really subject the Windows runtime to the same load/connections as exist in the real environment.

In short, I am polling a web api every few seconds, parsing the results and updating objects that are linked to a display dashboard. I really only have 3 clients connected at a time, and can see no correlation between number of clients and the memory growth.

I have added a display for Runtime.objectCount, RuntimeMemoryUsed and a table of object types and counts. The objectcount increases over time, as does the memory. The objects that seem to grow accordingly are Array, WeakRef, Delegate and _HTTPDelegateTimer.

Any advice would be appreciated. 2024 R1.1
