find_each_gc

A minimal Ruby gem that automatically runs GC.start on each batch iteration of find_each/find_in_batches for all ActiveRecord models.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'find_each_gc'

Usage

Once the gem is installed and required, GC.start will automatically be called at the start of each batch when using find_each or find_in_batches on any ActiveRecord model. No additional configuration is required.

# GC.start will be called automatically on each batch
User.find_each(batch_size: 1000) do |user|
  # process user
end

# GC.start will be called automatically on each batch  
User.find_in_batches(batch_size: 1000) do |batch|
  # process batch
end

Development

Standard Ruby gem structure. No external dependencies except ActiveRecord.
