I have a question, why very simple Spring Boot application allocate 100 MB RAM ? How can i decrease memory usage?
1) https://start.spring.io/ generate demo progect with "Spring Web Starter" dependency
2) Dockerfile
FROM openjdk:8-jre-alpine
ADD /target/demo.jar demo.jar
EXPOSE 8080
ENTRYPOINT ["sh", "-c", "java $JAVA_OPTS -jar /demo.jar"]

Classes
package com.example.demo;
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
@SpringBootApplication
public class DemoApplication {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(DemoApplication.class, args);
}
}
package com.example.demo;
import org.springframework.http.HttpStatus;
import org.springframework.http.ResponseEntity;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.GetMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;
@RestController
@RequestMapping("/app")
public class AppRestController {
@GetMapping(value = "/test")
public ResponseEntity<String> health() {
return new ResponseEntity<>("test OK!", HttpStatus.OK);
}
}
1) Memory test 1
docker build -f Dockerfile -t demo .
docker run -p 8080:8080 demo
docker stats
MEM USAGE / LIMIT
101.5MiB / 989.4MiB
2) Memory test 2 with JVM keys
docker stop dc9305c42d09
docker run -p 8080:8080 -e JAVA_OPTS="-Xmx50M -Xms50M" demo
docker stats
MEM USAGE / LIMIT 107.2MiB / 989.4MiB
Memory usage just the same. How can i decrease it?
You need to pass something like -m 50m to limit memory available for the container along with -Xmx and Xms for JVM.
Following article explains it well.
