Was this on .netcore 2? If yes, then memory usage for moderate apps has gone down significantly. Turns out they just optimized for demanding apps before.
Nothing really, it just loaded up a JSON file into memory and then served 2 endpoints to query that structure. I dont have the .net version uploaded, but here is the go version [1]. The 1gb might have been while running load testing on it, I dont remember entirely. It was very consistently hitting it though.
