How to spot and fix memory leaks in Go

Memory leaks in Go can occur despite its garbage collector. They can result from unbounded resource creation, long-lived references, improperly terminated goroutines, deferred function calls in loops, and improper use of time.Ticker. Identifying such leaks involves monitoring memory usage patterns and using tools like pprof for code profiling. Continuous profiling tools like Datadog's Continuous Profiler can further help by providing continuous metrics and visualizations to detect and resolve memory issues.
