Elasticsearch is written in java. Idk if u ever used it, but its very resource hungry

i know elastic search is resource heavy but the resource usage is way above the usual and i have used it before

nah thats normal, u can tweak the elasticsearch settings or limit the resources of the service

if left unconfigured, it takes way more than needed
