 comment When should I think about upgrading our RDS MySQL instance based on memory usage?
@JNK Where does it say that upgrading isn't going to solve a memory issue? It's saying "here's some things you should know about RDS". I'm not stating I have a memory issue right now, my question is about finding out how to judge when to upgrade something before it's a problem. I could calculate when it'll spend more time garbage collecting than doing any actual work and find a sweet spot for upgrading (or tuning) my server, but I'm sure someone with more experience would have a simpler way of judging these things. I'm not sure if my question is unclear, I'll happily take edit suggestions.

 comment When should I think about upgrading our RDS MySQL instance based on memory usage?
It doesn't seem like this answers my question. I'm trying to understand when garbage collection and memory usage becomes a problem, not so much how to deal with it. I don't currently know if the garbage collection the DB is doing once every 2-3 days is healthy and at what time I should be concerned it's unhealthy, I would like to have some idea before it actually becomes an issue. How to fiddle with settings to free up memory seems like a separate issue, although I welcome the suggestions.
