What ended up being the biggest bottleneck in my ESP32 IoT project?
It wasn't the CPU.
It wasn't the Flash.
It was RAM.
While developing an ESP32-based embedded firmware application, my firmware combined BLE provisioning, Wi-Fi, MQTT, HTTPS OTA updates, JSON parsing, RGB LED control, and real-time MP3 streaming. Each feature worked well individually, but once everything started running together, I began seeing memory allocation failures and unexpected resets.
That debugging session reminded me of something that's easy to overlook:
A datasheet tells you what a microcontroller can do. Real-world testing tells you what it can actually handle.
I recently published a technical article that walks through the entire debugging process—from identifying the memory bottleneck to implementing a production-ready solution using PSRAM. If you're interested in ESP32, embedded firmware, FreeRTOS, IoT development, memory optimization, or embedded systems design, I hope you'll find it useful.
📖 Why RAM—Not CPU Speed—Became the Bottleneck in Our ESP32 IoT Device
I'd love to hear how other firmware engineers approach memory optimization. Have you run into similar RAM limitations in your embedded projects?
If you're building an ESP32, STM32, or IoT product and need embedded firmware development, Embedded C/C++, FreeRTOS, driver development, or firmware debugging, I'd be happy to discuss your project.

This project combines a custom shader for the 3D render, scripting for precise timing control, state machines, data binding, and UI animation.
A fun way to explore how far Rive can be pushed beyond traditional UI animation by bringing rendering, motion, and application logic together in a single tool.
