Mysql 5.7 memory leak

Just curious if anyone has found a fix for the memory leak bug in Mysql 5.7?

I have a fresh install on a 1g droplet and I am sitting at anywhere from 60% memory to 85%.

It seems a lot of people are switching to MariaDB to avoid this until it is fixed.

Using a separate server for the database makes a huge difference as well. Either a separate droplet or something like an RDS at amazon.

Ok got it.

Thank you for the info!

what about turning performance_schema off ? I think it solves the problem.

Do all you guys use performance_schema in production ?

@sdbruder With 5.7, turning performance_schema off doesn't help as it did in 5.6. I switched to MariaDB and stopped tracking the root cause.

Lol it's not a memory leak they said.

I just use 5.6.
