Asked by 7579882df41b43499dc559468e6c9c
Ive create a droplet for my app but there are times that goes completely off(by this i mean its on but it cant do any tasks,it stuck on simple commands also), my guessing is because its updating but i have a 2 gb ram with a simple node server running.
Is this normal ?
Also it is advisable to turn the updates off ?
Thank you .

Heya, @7579882df41b43499dc559468e6c9c
I’ll recommend to examine the logs if the droplet us running out of memory. Usually there will be references in
/var/log/messagesindicating that a process was killed -oomorout of memoryAlso you can add SWAP space in order to improve the performance. This will benefit a smaller droplet for sure:

Hope that this helps!
Heya @7579882df41b43499dc559468e6c9c,
I think it’s due to high CPU usage. When does those frezzes occur? Is it when you are developing something, what are you trying to do when they occur, how long do they last?
