title: Remove Linguist gem, reducing Rails memory usage by 128MB per process
merge_request: 21008
author:
type: changed
Remove dependencies on Linguist This saves about 128 MB of baseline RAM usage per Unicorn and Sidekiq process (!). Linguist wasn't detecting languages anymore from CE/EE since 9ae8b57467ac8b38f1fa9020a466d94a93cbb9dd. However, Linguist::BlobHelper was still being depended on by BlobLike and others. This removes the Linguist gem, given it isn't required anymore. EscapeUtils were pulled in as dependency, but given Banzai depends on it, it is now added explicitly. Previously, Linguist was used to detect the best ACE mode. Instead, we rely on ACE to guess the best mode based on the file extension. 2018-08-03 09:24:26 -04:00			`---`
