## Context #21954 raised `MAX_LOCAL_CACHE_ENTRIES` from 1,000 to 7,500 to stop the per-pod workspace metadata cache from thrashing against Redis. That worked: the cache node's egress dropped from ~1.1-1.8 TB/day to ~0.5-0.7 TB/day and has stayed there. The memory side of the trade turned out tighter than the sizing assumed. Prod-eu metrics over the past month: - Average server pod working set rose from ~1.9-2.4 GiB (before the rollout on 06/26) to ~3.0-3.4 GiB, with individual pods peaking at 3.5-3.6 GiB, right at the `--max-old-space-size=3500` heap ceiling on 4 GiB pods. - The `workspace-metadata-cache/local-eviction` counter added in #21954 stayed at zero for three weeks, then on 07/15 between 08:30 and 09:30 UTC all 7 server pods hit the 7,500-entry cap within an hour (no deploy that morning; organic growth crossed the threshold during the European morning peak). Since then the fleet evicts continuously (~167k entries/day). - Server pods were terminated with reason OOMKilled on 8 days of the past month (1-2 pods each time). The per-entry payload also grew since the cap was sized: search field metadata backfills, two new per-workspace cache components (`flatSearchFieldMetadataMaps`, `workflowAutomatedTriggerMaps`), and the heap-only `ORMEntityMetadatas` entries. So the byte ceiling implied by 7,500 entries now sits exactly at the heap limit instead of comfortably under it. ## What this does Lower `MAX_LOCAL_CACHE_ENTRIES` 7,500 → 6,000. At the measured ~170-200 KB average entry size this frees roughly 300-500 MB of steady-state heap per pod, restoring headroom under the 3.5 GB old-space limit. Traffic cost should be small: eviction churn at the 7,500 cap only moved cache egress from ~0.55 to ~0.65-0.68 TB/day, so a 20% smaller cap should keep the bulk of the #21954 reduction. The eviction counter gives us the feedback loop; if egress climbs materially we can split the difference, and if pods still run hot the next lever is byte-aware eviction for the few known-heavy keys.

Why Twenty
Twenty gives technical teams the building blocks for a custom CRM that meets complex business needs and quickly adapts as the business evolves. Twenty is the CRM you build, ship, and version like the rest of your stack.

Installation
Cloud
The fastest way to get started. Sign up at twenty.com and spin up a workspace in under a minute, with no infrastructure to manage and always up to date.
Build an app
Scaffold a new app with the Twenty CLI:
npx create-twenty-app my-app
Define objects, fields, and views as code:
import { defineObject, FieldType } from 'twenty-sdk/define';
export default defineObject({
nameSingular: 'deal',
namePlural: 'deals',
labelSingular: 'Deal',
labelPlural: 'Deals',
fields: [
{ name: 'name', label: 'Name', type: FieldType.TEXT },
{ name: 'amount', label: 'Amount', type: FieldType.CURRENCY },
{ name: 'closeDate', label: 'Close Date', type: FieldType.DATE_TIME },
],
});
Then ship it to your workspace:
npx twenty app:publish --private
See the app development guide for objects, views, agents, and logic functions.
Self-hosting
Run Twenty on your own infrastructure with Docker Compose, or contribute locally via the local setup guide.
Everything you need
Twenty gives you the building blocks of a modern CRM (objects, views, workflows, and agents) and lets you extend them as code. Here's a tour of what's in the box.
