Seems like they wrote slow memory hogging software and didn't make any attempt at optimizing it.

E.g. there's no mention of AOT compilation for Java. No hints at what actually consumed 2GB of RAM.

Greenfield projects are always more fun.

Probably it only uses 100mb of heap but they didn't check or tune the memory manager at all
