08/25/2023, 5:13 PMYeah, after years of seeing Production ColdFusion servers with a max heap of 512 or whatever it was because no one ever cahnged the default, I had decided to just not set one in CommandBox. And Java has gotten smarter on choosing a heap size, especially in Docker, allowing you to more/less control the heap size of via your docker container memory size.
