Disclaimer: a lot in flux. To help cloud developers to deal with the impact of non-deterministic garbage collection interventions, we implemented an easy-to-use mechanism called Garbage Collection Control Interceptor (GCI). Instead of attempting to minimize the negative impact of garbage collector interventions, GCI controls the garbage collector and sheds the incoming load during collections, which avoids CPU competition and stop-the-world pauses while processing requests. GCI has two main parts: i) the GCI-Proxy -- a multiplatform, runtime-agnostic HTTP intermediary responsible for controlling the garbage collector and shedding the load when necessary -- and the ii) the Request Processor(RP), a thin layer which runs within the service and is usually implemented as a framework middleware. The latter is responsible for checking the heap allocation and performing a garbage collection. This repository implements a GCI Request Processor for Rack services. This middleware can be used in rails application (example here).
