      This is bad advice. The worst. Just bump up limits? Really?

      Instead, find out why this happens, first.

        Well, in this case I had no security concerns. As I pointed out in the article, the repo is very big and it contains tons of tests. My guess is that many of those tests generate files which eventually causes the process to reach the soft limit. I’ll do a part 2 with a follow up and see if this makes sense!
