Upload large files to BLOB

Rails
1

Hi to all.
I’m working with saving big files(~200mb) directly into db.
I have issue with that.
Caused by increased huge use of free RAM(about 3gb of ram and 3gb of
swap) on stage when file saves to db:

@job.pdf = params[:job][:pdf].read

After this is completed there is still some RAM and swap in use.
Is there some way to optimize that?

I don’t believe there is anyway in activerecord to stream blobs - the
entire thing will get loaded into memory. It’s not usually a great idea
in general.
