Magic Meal Kits is designed to run within Google Cloud’s free tier. Under heavier use it can slow down — upgrading the memory tier from Free (256 MB) to Basic (512 MB) usually resolves it.

​
When you need this

Performance can degrade when:
  • You process large volumes of data frequently, or
  • Multiple scenarios hit the server at the same time.
In these cases, upgrading memory from 256 MB to 512 MB typically fixes the slowdown.
If you need more than 512 MB, contact support — larger upgrades are handled separately.

The tier names match the installation tiers: Free is 1 vCPU / 256 MB and Basic is 1 vCPU / 512 MB. Infrastructure is billed by Google Cloud — Basic is roughly ~$5/month depending on usage and region.
