Questions to anyone using Crystal in production:

* How is the GC latency, considering that Crystal uses the Boehm GC?

* Have you encountered any problems in long running programs due to the conservative nature of Boehm?

> gc latency I don't know, never care much about it, haven't cause any issue the 6 years I run my web services using Crystal.

> long running programs depends, I write several services that running 24/7. Some runs fine for months, some just refuses to response after a few day. Too busy to track for the cause so I just automatically reset the affected services at 4AM.

We wrote https://github.com/compumike/idle-gc to run GC when the long-running process is otherwise mostly idle. It’s been fine for us.
