Shared vs bundled database memory (2026-09-30, on `shawn`, Docker 28, Linux x86_64) Bundled: five projects each running their own database containers, idle, on a private network, with the SAME images Zeltro's shared services use: postgres:17, redis:8, mariadb:12.3 (one empty database each). Measured with `docker stats` after ~5 minutes. Shared: Zeltro's zeltro-postgres, zeltro-mariadb and zeltro-redis at the same moment, while serving this machine's real projects (not empty). 5 x bundled shared MariaDB 12.3 494 MiB (avg 99) 85 MiB Postgres 17 139 MiB (avg 28) 75 MiB Redis 8 41 MiB (avg 8) 7 MiB Total 673 MiB 167 MiB (4x less) Idle numbers; under load every separate instance grows on its own, so the gap widens. Raw output: docker-stats.jsonl.
