The memory keeps scaling very slowly:

After half a day the memory still hasnt gone back to it's inital level....

Hey there Hannes,

Unfortunately, the reality of MySQL in a container is that you are going to have quite high memory usage on the platform.

With the default configuration: MySQL 8's default configuration is designed for general-purpose use and may allocate more memory than necessary for containerized environments, this is because of the InnoDB buffer pool.

Off hand, I wouldn't be able to provide advice on tuning your database but if need be you can try a number of options and going from there.

(I also re-spun an invite to Slack but it's not tied to your Jobwork email, if you give me that, I can invite you over.)

Thanks,
Angelo

Hi Angelo, I dont mind if it uses a lot of memory. In fact I was wondering why it now uses less than before. It seems way slower than it used to be 2 days ago....

I wouldn't be able to know without traces and profiles on your end. From my end, the hosts during this period are healthy with plenty of head room.
