No need to worry. This isn't really a concern.

 

No operating system releases memory upon using it, but caches it once the program finishes. This actually saves time as memory blocks can be allocated in less time than loading new blocks.

However, if it's required to release memory, it can be performed via a few commands.

Hi all,

 

We did a stability test for our product, where we continuously inserting data into postgres tables. We did this for three days continuously.

Memory utilization of our Postgres container continuously increasing.

 

 

Can you please provide us the clue why it is not constant and continuously increasing?
