Puppeteer leaks memory at scale in production headless browser workloads
Running Puppeteer in production for tasks like invoice generation causes severe memory leaks beyond ~15 concurrent requests, with each Chromium instance consuming 200–500 MB. Pooling, zombie cleanup, and browser recycling offer only partial relief. Developers need a reliable managed solution for high-throughput headless browser workloads without memory runaway.

Trello web app uses excessive memory and slows down multi-app setups
Trello consumes significant RAM when running alongside other applications, causing system slowdowns that force users to close the app. This is particularly problematic for users on lower-spec hardware or with memory-intensive workflows. The issue is a performance regression rather than a feature gap.
