How can I optimize memory usage in large-scale applications?

To optimize memory usage, consider techniques like memory pooling, lazy loading, and efficient data structures.

What is memory pooling and how does it help?

Memory pooling involves allocating a large block of memory upfront and managing it manually, reducing fragmentation and allocation overhead.

Are there specific data structures that are more memory-efficient?

Yes, using structures like tries or hash maps can be more memory-efficient for certain types of data compared to arrays.

How can I monitor memory usage in my application?

You can use profiling tools like Valgrind, or built-in monitoring tools in your programming environment to track memory usage.
