 * I have a wordpress setup working with Elementor. After building the most of the
   website I started experiencing issues with 500 Server error when I click the 
   Elementor update button. I had 256Mb of memory dedicated to this site (inside
   Docker container).
 * After some time is again started hanging up with the same error. Once again I
   checked the logs and again it was memory issue. I upgraded to 512Mb and that 
   fixed it.
 * Couple of days later, same story, same solution, I added 1Gb to the instance 
   and it was working fine until today, where 1Gb became unsufficient. The newest
   error from today is:
 * `PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 1073741824 bytes exhausted (tried to
   allocate 401408 bytes) in /var/www/html/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 2022`
 * I believe that this is too much memory and I don’t see it stopping ant some threshold.
   I am writing to look for an advice what might be causing these issue?
 * One more thing I noticed that the database is becoming huuuuge. Currently it 
   is almost 3Gb in size. Much larger applications in years of usage didn’t manage
   to fill such large amount of data in database as Elementor is doing in couple
   of days.
 * Any advice?
