+## `vm.measureMemory([options])`
+
+<!-- YAML
+added: REPLACEME
+-->
+
+> Stability: 1 - Experimental
+
+Measure the memory known to V8 and used by the current execution context
+or a specified context.
+
+* `options` {Object} Optional.
+  * `mode` {string} Either `'summary'` or `'detailed'`.
+    **Default:** `'summary'`
+  * `context` {Object} Optional. A [contextified][] object returned
+    by `vm.createContext()`. If not specified, measure the memory
+    usage of the current context where `vm.measureMemory()` is invoked.
+* Returns: {Promise} If the memory is successfully measured the promise will
+  resolve with an object containing information about the memory usage.
+
+The format of the object that the returned Promise may resolve with is
+specific to the V8 engine and may change from one version of V8 to the next.
+
+The returned result is different from the statistics returned by
+`v8.getHeapSpaceStatistics()` in that `vm.measureMemory()` measures
+the memory reachable by V8 from a specific context, while
+`v8.getHeapSpaceStatistics()` measures the memory used by an instance
+of V8 engine, which can switch among multiple contexts that reference
+objects in the heap of one engine.
+
+```js
+const vm = require('vm');
+// Measure the memory used by the current context and return the result
+// in summary.
+vm.measureMemory({ mode: 'summary' })
+  // Is the same as vm.measureMemory()
+  .then((result) => {
+    // The current format is:
+    // { total: { jsMemoryEstimate: 2211728, jsMemoryRange: [ 0, 2211728 ] } }
+    console.log(result);
+  });
+
+const context = vm.createContext({});
+vm.measureMemory({ mode: 'detailed' }, context)
+  .then((result) => {
+    // At the moment the detailed format is the same as the summary one.
+    console.log(result);
+  });
+```
