It is working as expected. You allocate models to hold 10k elements - you never put more than 10k elements in it, so it will not consume additional memory. (You should probably make the comparison == 10000, not > 10000 to avoid the extra array allocation.
GC is non deterministic - so it will only free memory if/when it needs to. I would perform a heap dump to understand exactly what is consuming the memory if it is continually increasing - I suspect it may be in the MongoDB driver - or it is just dead objects waiting to be collected. > On Aug 26, 2024, at 8:24 AM, Gowtham Raj <rgowtham...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hello team, > > MongoDB Go bulk write takes up an slice of interfaces which is slice of > operations. > https://go.dev/play/p/2vcHx5EFK5x > While doing so I create a empty slice and add operations to it.
