title: Spring boot is consuming too much RAM
body: <p>I have created some services in spring boot, I have 11 fat jars and I deploy them in docker containers, my doubt was that every jar was consuming between 1 and 1.5 GB of RAM without any use, I check the RAM by running:</p>
  
  <pre><code>docker stats containername
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>At first I thought that it was the java container and I tried to change to one that uses alpine but nothing changed, so I think the only problem is my jar. Is there a way to change the RAM that the jar is using? Or this behavior is normal because every jar has an embedded tomcat? Or maybe is better to put some jars together and deploy them as war and use only one tomcat for a group of "jars"? Can someone share his/her experience?,</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
