This PR adds support for Ruby GC statistic metrics
malloc_increase_bytes_limit
andoldmalloc_increase_bytes_limit
. These metrics are useful in determining malloc limits for GC tuning, preventing unnecessary limit threshold recalculations and expansion.We use these values from Production to tune
RUBY_GC_MALLOC_LIMIT
andRUBY_GC_OLDMALLOC_LIMIT
accordingly.We see that appropriate tuning of these metrics can help to alleviate immediate cold start / reboot request latency in our application.
