Potential memory leak on Digital Ocean

[gustavoconter]

Hi! I have a Nuxt 3 app with SSR enabled running on Digital Ocean's App Platform, my app is an e-commerce store and we cache a lot of data, but we have a very short cache span (usually 5 minutes). By default, Nitro uses the memoryDriver to store cache, and every 6 hours our app would immediately restart when it reached 100% RAM usage.

Yesterday, I have switched the default storage driver to the fs driver, and at this moment, it seems that our app has a stable memory consumption.

However, while inspecting the app filesystem, I noticed that most of the saved route cache persists of the same with a different suffix.

Example:

So far I have concluded that even if memory leak it not happening at this moment, our file storage is rapidly increasing in size.

Any ideas on why this happens? Is this the expected behavior, and should I programmatically delete the cache files?

Any help would be much appreciated 🙏

I think this might be related to #2138
