Running multiple scripts at the same time out of 8G memory, resulting in failure

[kongbai-16]

Test code to reproduce

How much memory is generally recommended to run cypress on how many servers? How many scripts can you run on 8 gigabytes of RAM? How to reduce the memory consumption of scripts?
To run with java code, start ten cypress run almost at the same time to run ten scripts.
The following happens:
1、Out of memory failed to run
2、Browser response timeout

Cypress Mode

• This is related to the closed answered issue How much memory is recommended for the server  cypress-documentation#6062:

How much memory does the server recommend?

Your question about memory recommendations is answered already in https://docs.cypress.io/app/get-started/install-cypress#Memory which says: "4GB minimum, 8GB+ for longer test runs"

How many scripts can be parallelized at the same time? How many scripts can you run in 8GB?

This issue list is primarily for reporting issues with the documentation, not for asking support or "how-to" type questions. You may however be able to get some feedback and help from the Cypress technical community on Discord regarding the second part of your question.

Cypress parallelization is described under https://docs.cypress.io/cloud/features/smart-orchestration/parallelization

Please note the comment in the Cypress documentation:

https://docs.cypress.io/cloud/features/smart-orchestration/parallelization

Cypress can run recorded tests in parallel across multiple machines. While parallel tests can also technically run on a single machine, we do not recommend it since this machine would require significant resources to run your tests efficiently.

Additionally Node.js 16.x is no longer supported. See https://docs.cypress.io/app/get-started/install-cypress#Nodejs for currently supported versions.
