Follow-up: Running the same Spring Boot app on a 256 MB VPS with JDK 25https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1w0u6rw/followup_running_the_same_spring_boot_app_on_a
Follow-up to my 512 MB Spring Boot experiment: I tried the same application on a 256 MB Alpine VPS. JDK 21 struggled badly at this size, but with JDK 25 and a tuned 80 MB heap, the app plus lightweight monitoring completed a one-hour run without restarts or OOM kills. Still not something I’d recommend for normal production, but the difference was interesting. submitted by /u/fykup [link] [comments]
