Forrest and Domenic did a session about them at NodeConf last year, their materials are here: https://github.com/mikeal/nodeconf2013/tree/master/pkg/domains If you analyze the code you're working on you *can* create domains around specific areas of code that you're confident won't leak on exception but it's still a better idea to schedule the process to be cycled. -Mikeal On Jan 14, 2014, at 12:28PM, Gregg Caines <cai...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hey all...
