Postgres DBs run out of memory and crash without any reason

Hey @lukejagodzinski

Earlier today we shipped an update to a monitor process that runs alongside the VM. This had a memory leak which resulted in some apps going OOM. This impacted Postgres apps the most. As Postgres tends to utilize all available memory it’s more vulnerable to something taking up excess.

We’ve rolled back the change so it should be fixed shortly.
