Rendering is this service's normal mode, not a # burst, so the request comes from the peak and not from the resting 22 MB. # # at rest (imports + FastAPI app) 22 MB # frames, 3 workers, 1260 of them 147 MB # audio synthesis and WAV 71 MB # encode, -threads 3 480 MB <- the whole cost # full render of examples/jal1628.json 522 MB, 32 s # the same at the spec's 180 s ceiling 511 MB, 138 s # # The peak is the encode's and does not grow with duration: at 5400 frames # anon is unchanged and only the page cache grows (64 -> 275 MB), which is # reclaimable. That is why these are sized against anon and not against # memory.current, which reaches 808 MB at the ceiling. # # 512Mi does survive the reference render, but only by evicting page cache # to sit exactly on the cap with no margin. 640Mi covers the measured peak # with ~20% headroom; the 1Gi limit lets the page cache stay cached instead # of being re-read during the encode. # # The CPU limit is what sizes the worker pool, not the request — the code # reads cpu.max, since cpu_count() reports the node's 16. At limits.cpu 3 # that is 3 workers, verified in a real cgroup (300%->3, 200%->2, 100%->1). # 3 CPUs render in 32 s against 48 s at 2, for 22 MB less, so the third is # worth more than the extra worker costs. # # Consequence, deliberate: under sustained contention the pod runs 3 workers # on the 1 CPU it is guaranteed and a render takes about 3x longer. That is # benign here — POST /render returns a job id, the queue runs at concurrency # 1 and the caller polls, so a slow render is a later `done`, never a # timeout.
