Cloud run memory piling up!

[Thala]

I have a flask service that is deployed in Google cloud.

When there are multiple requests coming , the memory usage keeps spiking.

The memory usage doesn't reduce even after the request is processed !

When I restart the cloud run, then only the memory gets freed. I am using memory profiler to identify potential memory leaks in my code and apparently there are none.

What might be the issue?

Hi @Thala,

Welcome to Google Cloud Community!

Please check the following as one of these may be the reason of high memory usage:

• HTTP 500 / HTTP 503: Container instances are exceeding memory limits 
• Configured memory limit has been reached/exceeded 
• Flask service is not optimized for Cloud Run
• You may need to deploy a new Cloud Run service or a revision from an existing one 

You may also want to check this related Google Cloud Community question as this might be helpful with your case.

Hope this helps.
