The requirement is to be able to launch a playbook on receiving a request

You mentioned - Ansible uses about 50MB of memory per playbook. Is there
something that can be done to optimize on that ?

50MB is just the minimum, it might be a lot more depending on playbook.
I highly doubt there is much that can be done.

Just a Hello World in python uses 7MB

$ /usr/bin/time -f %M  python -c 'print "Hello World"'
Hello World
Mem used in kB: 7316



An Ansible equivalent Hello World uses 48MB

$ /usr/bin/time -f "Mem used in kB: %M" ansible-playbook test.yml

PLAY [localhost] ***********************************************************

TASK [debug] ***************************************************************
ok: [localhost] => {}

MSG:

Hello World


PLAY RECAP ***************************************************************** localhost : ok=1 changed=0 unreachable=0 failed=0

Mem used in kB: 48316


If you use Ansible dynamic inventory you can easily change the inventory depending on the dynamic demand.
