Crash: Small Instance Unstable Thumbnailing about directus

[br41nslug]

Image transformation is a very CPU/Memory intensive process. The images you mention "around 4000x6000px, 3mb each" are almost the default MAX transform size of 6000x6000px and doing multiple of those may require more than the minimum specs.

Can you try lowering the ASSETS_TRANSFORM_MAX_CONCURRENT config to see if it results in a more stable experience? And perhaps increasing the ASSETS_TRANSFORM_TIMEOUT could help too.

Even having ASSETS_TRANSFORM_MAX_CONCURRENT at 2 crashes the server. It crashes immediately much earlier before any timeout comes into play, so I don't think it has got to do something with ASSETS_TRANSFORM_TIMEOUT .

Scaling the app to 1GB RAM instead of 512mb immediately solves the issue and it perfectly handles concurrent transformations (at least from the one user I am)
