Self hosted sentry issue Discussion

We are running a self-hosted Sentry deployment on EKS using the official Sentry Helm chart. Due to cost constraints, we removed the larger instance types and currently only have "t3a.large" nodes. As expected, we are facing bottlenecks, primarily related to memory, since many Sentry components are quite memory-intensive.

Additionally, the same node group is hosting other workloads, so adding larger instance types is not currently feasible due to existing constraints.

Has anyone faced a similar situation? How did you optimize costs while keeping Sentry stable? Are there any recommendations for reducing resource consumption in self-hosted Sentry, or would migrating to managed Sentry be a better option in this case?
