What is the impact if we increase heap memory size?

Hi, I am using Camunda 7.11 version, since we are watching “outofmemory Exception: GC Overhead limit exceeded”, we would like to increase heap size “-Xmx1500m” where are camunda pod was allocated with 2GB RAM. As we see in this link “Performance tuning Camunda 7 | Camunda Platform 8 Docs”, we are suggested not to tweak JVM. Could you please suggest us that if we increase the heap size is there any impact on camunda ? If yes , then what kind of impact we will see in the application? is there any performance improvement ?

Hi @aniinprni,

there are always exceptions to best practices. When spending more memory helps to resolve the issue, you’re good to do it.

It has no negative impact on the process execution.

Hope this helps, Ingo
