A story of debugging OOMs of a Go application in Kubernetes.

Now, I do not agree with the author of this article that the fact that Go is not aware of memory limits is a problem. In my opinion, it works as expected: you don’t want to have environment-dependent runtimes.

However, this article provides some examples of how one can manage Go’s memory utilization and tune garbage collection a little bit. Plus, it has links to articles that describe Go’s garbage collector in more detail, which is also cool.
