Why using Steeltoe.Discovery.Client library in Asp.Net Core keeps increasing the memory?

Question

I have a simple ASP.Net Core API 3.1 (from VS templates) project using Steeltoe.Discovery.Client 2.2.0 library. After a few days of running the application, the memory keeps increasing. I investigated a little bit to get some info about why the memory increased without using the app.

What I found is that for each call at 30 sec (HeartBeat askAsync, FetchRegistry Async) memory increase without decreasing.

Can someone help me figure out why memory keeps increasing (~1MB/min), at each I/O spike (eureka calls), without decreasing and how can I use it in production without restarting the app in order to release the memory?

Thank you!

In past releases, since 2.2.0, we have identified and resolved some issues that might be affecting you. Sounds like it might be related to the health checks. Can you try with the latest 2.4.4 release and see if you still have the issue? If not, we can take a closer look at your configuration and try to reproduce.

Thanks.
