Staying within your plan.

WHAT LIMITS APPLY

Memory Processing Simultaneous processes Entry processes

WHY PYTHON APPLICATIONS MATTER HERE

They run as persistent processes, consuming memory continuously.

Unlike a script that runs and exits.

WHAT CONSUMES MEMORY

Data held in memory Libraries loaded Caches that grow Leaks in long-running processes

THE GROWING CACHE PROBLEM

Anything accumulating in memory over time eventually exceeds the limit.

WHAT TO DO

Process data in streams rather than holding it Bound any cache Release resources

WHAT TO MONITOR

Memory use over time, not only at startup.

WHAT A MEMORY PROBLEM LOOKS LIKE

The application restarting unexpectedly Errors under load Gradual slowness

WHAT TO CHECK

Resource usage in cPanel.

WHAT TO DO ABOUT SUSTAINED PRESSURE

Improve efficiency first Then consider a plan with more resources

WHAT NOT TO DO

Assume more resources will fix inefficient code.
