-Reduced memory consumption of GitLab with Puma [1]

Puma reduces the memory footprint of GitLab by about 40% compared to Unicorn.

Considering one of the most frequent complains about Gitlab is memory usage. 40% is huge.

It is! We're super excited about it. We've been running it on GitLab.com for some time now, and it's been great to see.

oops misspoke and now I can't edit, I meant deployment of applications to AWS (hopefully you knew what I meant!)
