How to increase memory allocated to app

Updated June 29, 2023 06:23

You can adjust the amount of memory allocated to your application (and services) using the resources key in your app configuration. The total allocated memory must stay within the limits set by your plan.

The resources key has the following possible options:

Name	Type	Default	Minimum	Description
`base_memory`	`integer`	45	64	The base amount of memory in MB to be given to the container. Up to 1024.
`memory_ratio`	`integer`	70	128	The amount of memory in MB that increases with CPU size. Up to 1024.

The memory allocated to the container is calculated as the base memory plus the memory ratio multiplied by the CPU: memory = base_memory + (memory_ratio * CPU).

Size	CPU
XS	0.25
S	0.5
M	1
L	2
XL	4
2X L	8

configuration example:

.platform.app.yaml

resources: 
    base_memory: 128
    memory_ratio: 180
