Increase Docker SHM size
Next steps

Scale /

Increase CPU and memory resources

You can increase the proportion of CPU and memory dedicated to a service on the resources page, available for all Northflank services.

Increasing the CPU share, or assigning one or multiple CPUs, and memory size can be useful if builds are taking a long time or if your service is handling intensive tasks.

Selecting the compute plan for a deployment service in the Northflank application

See Northflank pricing plans for CPU and memory resources.

Increase Docker SHM size

You can configure the amount of available memory-backed disk space available to /dev/shm from the resources page of combined services, deployment services, and jobs. The default SHM size assigned to containers is 64MB.

Using /dev/shm/ can significantly increase performance over using /tmp for I/O intensive processes.

Writing to /dev/shm will incur memory usage of the container. With insufficient container resources this may lead to out-of-memory conditions and crash your container.

Next steps

Scale replicas

Easily increase or decrease the amount of replicas to run depending on demand for your service.

Increase storage

Increase the persistent storage available for your replicas.
