Surely if they don't have that context, then it's even less likely they'll be able to roll their own optimization to fix the issue without swap.

- lazide 4y agoWell, they could use less RAM in general (hence less likely to be applying memory pressure). But good luck. Hence why the advice for servers is turn swap off. It’s a footgun waiting to happen.
- menaerus 4y agoI don't understand the argument. Performance-wise, swap will obviously decrease the one but runtime-wise isn't it going to actually enable your application to continue running rather than crashing, albeit at much lower speeds? Once you exhaust the RAM and you run with no swap configured, what happens with your application?
