Learn how to compile a Nim project with the ARC GC, run destructors predictably, and verify no memory leaks using Valgrind.
For a Nim service handling only a few requests per second, the goal is to reduce steady-state memory and tail latency by selecting the ARC garbage collector instead of the legacy mark-and-sweep default. ARC reclaims objects deterministically at the point of last reference, avoiding stop-the-world pauses and potentially lowering resident memory for infrequent
