How AI is used

HeapHero is a memory analysis tool for Java and Android applications. It allows developers to upload .hprof files to a cloud environment or use a REST API to identify memory leaks, memory hogs, and regression issues.

The tool is designed for Java and Android developers and performance engineers. It uses machine learning and deep learning to help flag potential leak suspects and identify memory wastage caused by inefficient programming or data structure choices.

Key capabilities include visualization tools such as the Dominator Tree and Class Histogram, which support tracing reference paths to identify the cause of memory retention. For teams with security requirements, the tool supports on-premise deployment to keep data within a corporate firewall.

Buyers should confirm whether they need the cloud version for limited uploads or the enterprise on-premise edition for unlimited uploads and automated data capturing.

Key Features

  • Deep Learning Leak Detection

    Uses machine learning algorithms to help detect memory leaks and isolate the objects causing them.

  • Dominator Tree View

    Visualizes large objects in memory and the reference paths keeping them alive to identify memory retention problems.

  • Class Histogram Analysis

    Provides a summary of loaded classes, including instance counts and the memory they occupy.

  • Duplicate Object Detection

    Identifies duplicate strings and objects that may contribute to memory wastage.

  • REST API Integration

    Supports programmatic analysis of heap dumps from JVMs and Android devices.

  • Collaboration Reports

    Provides shareable URL links to analysis reports for team review.

Use Cases

  • Identifying Memory Leaks

    Analyzing heap dumps to find objects that are not being garbage collected, which may help prevent application crashes.

  • Resolving OutOfMemoryErrors

    Diagnosing the cause of java.lang.OutOfMemoryError by inspecting the heap state.

  • Memory Regression Analysis

    Comparing heap dumps between application versions to determine if new updates consume more memory.

  • Reducing Memory Wastage

    Detecting memory hogs and inefficient data structure usage to help optimize the application's memory footprint.

Integrations

  • JIRA
  • Grafana
  • AWS S3

FAQ

What is HeapHero used for?

HeapHero is used to analyze Java and Android heap dumps to help identify memory leaks, memory hogs, and the causes of OutOfMemoryErrors.

Can HeapHero be installed locally?

Yes, an on-premise Enterprise edition is available for teams who prefer not to upload their heap dumps to the cloud.

Does HeapHero offer a free version?

Yes, there is a free cloud service that allows one user to perform up to 5 uploads per month.

What are the system requirements for the on-premise version?

The on-premise version requires Java 8 or above and RAM that is at least twice the size of the heap dump file being analyzed.
