A memory snapshot could explain why an app does not behave well. The process of collecting memory snapshot is straightforward locally: Download ProcDump Find the process ID in Task Manager Trigger onDemand collection: procdump.exe -accepteula -ma 123 Why that does not work in cloud? Despite KUDU can generate memory snapshots on demand, it frequently failsContinue reading “Memory snapshots in Azure Web Apps”

The amount of memory cache can use is defined in config: That is needed to protect against disk thrashing – running out of physical RAM so that disk is used to power virtual memory (terribly slow). That is a big hazard in Azure WebApps – much less RAM compared to old-school big boxes. Sitecore keepsContinue reading “Performance crime: wrong size detection”
