Question

Hi all. I’m running Airbyte on a Digital Ocean VM via Docker Compose. Recently, since 1 Aug, I’ve been having some out of memory issue from Java in my VM, and it’s taking up 100% CPU all the time even when no Airbyte syncs are running. In the past, CPU only spikes up when syncs are running.

/usr/lib/jvm/java-21-amazon-corretto/bin/java -XX:+ExitOnOutOfMemoryError -XX:MaxRAMPercentage=75.0 -classpath /app/airbyte-app/lib/io.airbyte-airbyte-workers-0.63.0jar:/app/airbyte-app/lib/io.airbyte-airbyte-commons
