How to implement GC recommendations?

[CoralineAda]

So I got the recommended configuration for my Rails app after measuring performance during a spec run. How do I actually implement them? Can I simply export the environment variables in a .env file for the app?

Hi @CoralineAda correct. We're in the final stages of a Heroku addon to plug into PaaS platforms, but still need to write up proper strategies for integrating test runs, one off processes etc.

I'll bump the docs. Thanks for flagging and let us know how it works out for you.

Hmm, I was hoping that I was doing something wrong. To be clear, I'm working locally and not on Heroku-- trying out GC tuning as a way of speeding up our test suite. We saw no difference at all in performance, which made me wonder if I was doing it right. Grr.
