I'm confused and I cannot find a solid documentation about Electron memory limitation. Is it 4 GB? Is it ~1.7 GB? Can anybody introduce some references? Thanks.
It is claimed that modern Electron has no memory hard limit and it can be increased by flags as far as needed. The bundled Chromium with Eelctron is modified in a way that no hard limit is set.
Is it true?
I don't believe electron on it's own has a memory limitation from the research I did. However, based on the fact that to increase the max memory usage you have to use the js-flags then add --max-old-space-size=new memory size, I believe this is something linked to chromium and by default the max memory on chromium is, according to this stackoverflow post, 4 GB on 64-bit machines and 1 GB on 32-bit machines.
