Epic Stack apps start with a single instance with 256MB of memory. This is a pretty small amount of memory, but it's enough to get started with. To help avoid memory pressure even at that scale, we allocate a 512MB swap file. Learn more about this decision in the memory swap decision document.

To modify or increase the swap file, check other/setup-swap.js. This file is executed before running our app within the litefs.yml config.

NOTE: PRs welcome to document how to determine the effectiveness of the swap file for your app.

To increase the memory allocated to your vm, use the fly scale command. You can learn more about memory sizing in the Fly docs.
