JVM Settings | Tuning heap size

It is very important to tune heap size with correct values in production.

Default values are minimum 256 MB and maximum heap size of 1024 MB.  For production environments the values are ideally around minimum heap size 4GB (4096m) and max heap size 6GB(6144m)

e.g.

java -Xmx6144m -Xms4096m
