Troubleshooting application crash looping in GCP

  • disable auto scaling and set number of replicas manually

  • view events in GCP to get a better idea of why application is getting killed and restarted image

  • note how long it takes for app to start successfully in your current environment

    • adjust number of tries for liveness and readiness probes to accommodate slower start ups
    • enable debug logging by org.springframework.boot.availability.ApplicationAvailabilityBean

  • use GCP metrics to monitor application CPU and RAM usage

    • tune the CPU/RAM application settings in GCP

  • check the logs for how much memory is allocated for container

    • Calculated JVM Memory Configuration: -XX:MaxDirectMemorySize=10M -Xmx3481627K -XX:MaxMetaspaceSize=200676K -XX:ReservedCodeCacheSize=240M -Xss1M (Total Memory: 4G, Thread Count: 250, Loaded Class Count: 33016, Headroom: 0%)
