Memory limit

[Rattnik]

Hi, during running some tasks, my Virtual Mashine got fault with the error: **Out of Memory: Killed proccess (prefect)**
How should I limit max memory size which Prefect can use??
Now I have only 16GB RAM.

Hmm @Rattnik is this your prefect flow that is running or the server? I haven't experienced server ever running out of memory but I have seen cases where some users write flows that are very memory intensive.

[Rattnik]

@joshmeek Yes, it happens during flow running. But, can I limit maximum memory for all flows?

[joshmeek]

They only way to currently limit memory for flow runs would be using one of the RunConfig options such as a KubernetesRun and limiting the amount of memory on the run there. Outside of that you would have to build something custom.

Ok. Thanks.
But Kubernetes just kill process which use memory greater than limit.
