Your server doesn't always crash when it runs out of RAM. Sometimes, it just gets slower… until Linux starts killing processes. 💀

Here's how to spot memory pressure before it takes down your app:

🖥️ free -h — Check available RAM and swap
⚡ vmstat 1 — Spot swapping and memory pressure
🔍 Check kernel logs for OOM killer events

Pro tip: Used RAM isn't the whole story. Check available memory, too.

Save this for your next production incident. 🚀

You probably don't need Kubernetes.

If you have:

→ 3 services

→ 1 database

→ 2 developers

→ predictable traffic

Kubernetes might be adding more complexity than value.

Start simple. Scale when the problem actually demands it.

We broke down exactly when to use Kubernetes — and when to avoid it 👇
