docusign
Why is the gem bigger than rails ?
I am currently investigating memory usage on my rails app. I ran a check (bundle exec derailed bundle:mem) to see memory at load time, and discovered that docusign was 46Mb which is a lot (rails is 34Mb and most gems are between 1 and 3 Mb).
Have you investigated why ?
Hmmm good question! I've filed internal ticket DCM-6162 to ask Engineering to investigate.
@Paul-Yves I've investigated a bit in the past and opened this PR fixing it. I think the primary problem is that this gem seems to have its code generated from some tool (probably to generate code across several languages), making the code very unoptimized.
Can we get an update here, @LarryKlugerDS?
This is bigger than it should be by maybe a factor of 10? AWS S3 gem, for comparison, is ~19MB — that’s the largest gem I’ve ever seen pulled in for a feature.
If there’s a quick fix that lops off 20MB here, that’s a win I would suggest pursuing. Otherwise, this gem (and docusign) are going to be on the chopping block at my company.
@MatheusRich suggested a fix on a branch that was closed with no comments — what’s up there?
