Memory leak in AWS Fargate

[InterstellarStella]

How do you use Sentry?

Sentry Saas (sentry.io)

Version

2.14.0

Steps to Reproduce

This issue is created on behalf of the customer.

We are using Sentry Python SDK in our FastAPI application, and we have discovered that it might be causing some memory leaks in our web server where a lot of memory is retained in primary memory and not being released. We also saw an open issue on GitHub where Logger.exception causes memory leaks.

So we are kind of hoping to understand if we can resolve this and stick to Sentry because this is causing issues on our server.

Further information is provided in the shadow ticket.

Expected Result

No memory leaks.

Actual Result

Using the Sentry SDK causes memory leaks. Graphs are provided in the shadow ticket.

Hello! Thank you for reaching out.

Could you please try the following and let us know whether it fixes the problem?

1. First, please try upgrading to the latest version of the Sentry SDK, in case we might have already fixed the underlying issue.
2. Second, if upgrading does not fix the problem, please try disabling the DedupeIntegration. This was suggested as a workaround in the logging.exception memory leak issue (Memory leak during exception logging #3165). If disabling DedupeIntegration fixes the memory leak, then we can close this issue as a duplicate of Memory leak during exception logging #3165

If neither of those suggestions help, please let me know, and we can continue debugging from there.
