Tooling

Julia 1.9 got a new CLI option --heap-size-hint. See #45369 for details and Julia execution inside a container with restricted RAM

This option allows to set a soft limit of memory consumption when the garbage collector should start an intensive work. We can expect this value should be in between 50-80% of RAM available for the Julia-based application. For intensive query server applications, this value may be less than 50% and should be adjusted based on experimentation with the appropriate load.

I’m starting this topic to collect together receipts of usage of this option for exact environments like GitHub Actions, Docker, Helm, Terraform, etc. Please share your ideas and code.
