Service using much more RAM on Railway than Local

Hi, my discord bot is using a lot more ram on Railway than on my local machine. Railway: https://i.mrxbox98.me/file/2023/10/firefox_7CMFWfJz4N.png Local: https://i.mrxbox98.me/file/2023/10/WindowsTerminal_bEvWZJ2DHO.png This is my first time using btop to check RAM usage so lmk if I'm measuring wrong locally.

railway uses the start script by default, but you aren't using the start script when testing locally

Mrxbox98OP•13mo ago

I changed the railway default so it is npm run bun-run

Brody•13mo ago

have you tested your app locally in a docker container too?

Mrxbox98OP•13mo ago

Ill try that and get back to you

Brody•13mo ago

@luna - the something to do with bun

luna•13mo ago

Ah yep let me look at this on my laptop can you please change your start script to this and let me know what version it prints out? please do this locally and for railway. if there's a version mismatch that may be the issue here as they've been fixing a fair few memory issues recently. bun --revision && bun run src/index.ts

@Mrxbox98

Mrxbox98OP•13mo ago

My local is 1.0.7+b0393fba6200d8573f3433fb0af258a0e33ac157, for some reason the command on railway didnt print anything. Another strange thing I noticed was when I switched to node the memory on railway went down from 1.4gb to around 800mb while on my local node uses more memory than bun.

Brody•13mo ago

the increased memory usage is likely due to the difference in bun versions and environments

luna•13mo ago

How did you setup the one for railway? 🤔

Mrxbox98OP•13mo ago

Nvm I was able to find it, I think I was looking at an old version. Turns out the install was for some reason installing bun verison 1.0.2+37edd5a6e389265738e89265bcbdf2999cb81a49

luna•13mo ago

yep that's probably part of the issue then. i personally run a Dockerfile to make sure im on the latest version of bun because of this.

Mrxbox98OP•13mo ago

Yeah not sure why the latest bun npm release tagged 1.0.7 is actually 1.0.2

Brody•13mo ago

1.0.2 is the version railway is currently using for bun builds, nothing to do with npm
