Every time I try out the Helidon server, it ends up using far more memory than usual, with a large disparity between the average and max usage. My containers end up getting killed due to memory, which causes a death spiral. Hello downtime.

Maybe next time I'll try out JettyLoom before reaching for Helidon, or maybe virtual thread servers just work best with fewer bigger containers than many small ones 🤷 . Until then, regular Jetty remains my rock; consistent memory usage and reliable.

out of interest - have you upgrades to the latest jetty 12 or are you using 11 still?

[Andrew O'Hara]

Yes, I reverted to Jetty 12. Pretty rock solid performance so far.

Good news. I've added it to the tfb benchmark, so we'll see how it does there quite soon (with both loom and threads). 😀
