While developing the wave chart, I noticed that wave recommends quite a large amount of resources.

I've been doing some Wave attribute work over the past few days. Came across this:

wave.cache.digestStore.maxWeightMb
Maximum heap memory (in MB) allocated to the in-memory digest-to-manifest cache used by the registry proxy. Increase this for deployments with high proxy throughput. Warning: Setting this too high can cause memory pressure on the Wave JVM. (NOTE: Description from Claude (not yet validated with human))

Since you are reducing the amount of RAM given to the pod, does the default value of 350MB need to be modified at all?

this size works in our prod, so should be fine no need to change, we are making k8s and docker requirements as close as possible heap size should not be affected by this
