Incident analysis
Most likely causes
The container is being terminated by the kernel OOM killer rather than throwing a JavaScript exception. 75%
A recent software, firmware or configuration change is exposing an existing compatibility issue. 45%
Summary
The reported behaviour is consistent with the container is being terminated by the kernel OOM killer rather than throwing a JavaScript exception. The safest next step is to verify that hypothesis with a reversible test before making permanent configuration changes.
Suggested Fixes
Verify the likely cause
Inspect container exit code and cgroup memory events, stream image processing, cap concurrency and set realistic memory limits.
Validate and monitor
Reproduce the issue once after the change, review relevant logs or metrics, and keep a rollback path until the system has remained stable.
