[bug\_fix] OOMKilled

Raise the container memory limit or reduce the application's memory footprint, then redeploy; confirm the new limit with \`kubectl describe pod\` and monitor \`kubectl top pod\`.

Journey Context:
A Pod keeps restarting and \`kubectl describe pod\` shows \`Reason: OOMKilled\` and \`Exit Code: 137\`. \`kubectl logs --previous\` is cut off mid-work. You run \`kubectl top pod\` and see memory pinned at the limit. Doubling the \`resources.limits.memory\` in the Deployment stops the kills. In another workload the app has a memory leak; raising the limit only buys time, so you profile the app and fix the leak, then set a reasonable request and limit with a sane ratio.
