• Memory Limit
  Suggest to set 768Mi for preventing always getting the 502 http code with the 512Mi memory. Test thirty agents and only cost about 700Mi memory generally.
• Memory Limit (PostgreSQL)
  Suggest to set 256Mi (no less than 256Mi). Test thirty agents and only cost about 100Mi memory.
  
• Database Name
  Don’t generate defaultly, or get the regex error
