OOM error on y-websocket/y-leveldb

1

I recently saw this out-of-memory error on NodeJS on our production server while using y-websocket in conjunction with y-leveldb. We’re using a slightly modified version of the source code for our server, so it’s possible I’ve caused this on my own, but because it’s in the lib0/dist/buffer code that it failed, it may also be due to yjs:

For those following along, looks like the underlying memory leak that was causing this has been fixed.

Excellent! Thanks to all those who helped track it down (@micrology, @ellisonbg)!

At https://github.com/micrology/y-websocket/tree/wss there is a fork of y-websocket that includes both this fix and the code for using wss://, as well as a README with additional suggestions about how to implement y-webserver on a remote server. Hopefully @dmonad will merge some or all of this into the master sometime.
