### Description Running APISIX in Kubernetes, have been noticing memory going up constantly, and when it gets to 70-75%, Kubernetes kills the pods. In next image, first sawtooth at 70% is Kube killing the pods, the other ones are me restarting the pods. <img width="316" height="240" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/805139dd-080c-4fc1-a79d-fb2861c0a8dd"; /> Tried to reproduce locally, ran the same version with same configurations in my Docker, locally, and created a (K6) script to exercise one of the routes which I think might be related to the issue. Same request (route, payload), over and over, for 10 min, simulating 20 users. Exec-ed in the docker container, ran top command, noticed a raise in memory after each run. **First run of 10min** <img width="988" height="656" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/8fc897c5-88a0-48bd-bf5f-fe543a458aa8"; /> ... **Second run of 10min** <img width="988" height="656" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/d0f8a05f-57b2-4bbf-b4a6-c19a05e0092e"; /> ... **Fourth run of 10min** <img width="988" height="656" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/ef1169c8-35e4-410a-8c2e-9bc3cd1d953b"; /> ... Looks like luajit went from 0.8% to 4%, which COULD explain the memory going up constantly. Digging around, found 2 links which might pertain to this issue: 1. https://github.com/apache/apisix/issues/11680 - this suggests setting a "memory limit" ("It does not appear to be a leak but rather the allocator behavior. Once a memory limit was set, this behavior was not observed again in 3.13"), any idea which memory limit for allocator it's talking about? 2. https://blog.openresty.com/en/luajit-plus/ - this one seems to be a plug for some "LuaJIT-plus", unclear if useful Any help on dealing with this? Thanks! ### Environment - APISIX version (run `apisix version`): 3.13 - Operating system (run `uname -a`): Linux 0abad5fe5166 6.10.14-linuxkit #1 SMP Tue Apr 15 16:00:54 UTC 2025 aarch64 GNU/Linux - OpenResty / Nginx version (run `openresty -V` or `nginx -V`): nginx version: openresty/1.27.1.2 - etcd version, if relevant (run `curl http://127.0.0.1:9090/v1/server_info`): N/A - APISIX Dashboard version, if relevant: N/A - Plugin runner version, for issues related to plugin runners: N/A - LuaRocks version, for installation issues (run `luarocks --version`): N/A -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
