@Grahame Grieve I noticed one build die, presumably for lack of RAM (https://fhir-build.visualstudio.com/build.fhir.org/_build/results?buildId=668&view=logs). We can throw as much memory as we need to at this, but right now there's a build server with 16GB RAM willing to run up to 4 jobs at once. It appears to have died running just 2 jobs at once; does a build expect to take more than 8GB RAM? Can we pass arguments to the java process to limit it, or should we just scale up and cross fingers?

for this weekend I'm going to turn off 3 of our 4 build agents, effectively serializing the builds just to try to avoid this issue while I'm away. (This should succeed unless any single build needs >16GB RAM.)
We can re-visit Monday.

build should not require more than 1GB
Josh Mandel (Sep 07 2018 at 21:15):
Hmm, well it certainly has been using close to 8. I think we may need to find a way to cap it (sat at 4 or 8) to prevent overreach -- because otherwise it overreaches and the system kills it.
