I have a microservice architecture using .net8 with rabbitmq as messaging service and postgresql, mongodb and sqlserver as databases depending on the service.

Accross all of my services, there is a problem that we are facing where memory usage goes up as the requests are being answered, but rarely if ever does it come down.

I’ve tried forcing the dispose methods in visual studio and it seams to have worked when i run it in debbug mode, but changing it to release mode, it goes back to the same problem.
Also, deploying to aws (linux containers), even in debug mode, the memory continues to climb.
