Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/benbusby/whoogle-search/issues/523

The docker image gets deployed successfully and the landing page is loaded, but when a search request is sent it just crashes and throws ERROR 502.

I think due to the limited ram availability the app crashes i am using v0.6.0, a screen cap of ram usage and app log is attached below.

@benbusby commented on GitHub (Nov 7, 2021):

That seems like a weird amount of memory used by a docker deployment. Running the container locally the app peaks at ~70MB, so I'm not sure why an instance deployed with fly.io is using this much memory. It should definitely run comfortably within the 256MB limit in fly.io's free tier.

Are you running more than one app on fly.io? That could potentially cause issues since memory is shared between multiple apps. Otherwise I'm at a loss for why it would be using so much more memory on their platform than elsewhere on other platforms.

Moving to a discussion for now, since this seems to potentially be an issue on fly.io's side.
