Equinor has a focus on operational cost and we are encouraged to find ways to reduce operational costs. After reviewing the performance metrics in grafana I see that the JC frontend uses around 1-2% of its dedicated resources. It has allocated 1 Gigabyte of ram and 800ms? cpu. This is the same for all environments.
My suggestion is to divide it in half.
0.5Gigabyte of ram and 400ms cpu. See how much this impacts cost and monitor metrics to see that everything still runs smoothly.
