Hi everyone,
I’m experimenting with a balena setup that processes short media files, and I’m seeing occasional slowdowns and container restarts under load. It’s not consistent, which makes it hard to pinpoint whether the issue is CPU limits, storage I/O, or how the base image handles temporary files.
While looking into similar workflows, I came across this complete cepcut apk tutorial that discusses media processing behavior, which made me wonder how much container configuration and volume mounting affect stability in these cases.
For those running media or utility-style workloads on balena, do you usually start by tuning resource limits, optimizing volumes, or changing base images to avoid these intermittent performance issues?
