I have hosted my nextjs web app in a ubuntu server with pm2 running. The above screenshot shows the memory and cpu usage of the system. Why there is multiple next processes running, because of this my server is always crashing

I dont think this has anything to do with Next.js. Have you tried with a fresh installation of next.js?

I'm hosting a next.js website myself on a ubuntu server with both docker and pm2. Averaging 80-100MiB

Is it possible that you're running multiple instances of the same app?

how can it possible? I've just run npm start

Not sure what you're referring to. In my case it is taking 0.59% and in your case it's eating around 80%

What I'm trying to say is that it might be how you use Next.js, might be some memory leaks in your code. Try to run a fresh next.js install and compare the two

I had the same problem with pm2, it was creating new instances or somethig like crazy eating 100% cpu. Luckily we switched to Coolify and same app is barely noticeable on the server
