 - **Stage 2 (tailscale)**: Downloads and extracts Tailscale binaries
 - **Stage 3 (production)**: Final Alpine image with nginx, Tailscale, and GoAccess
 
+### Memory Optimization
+
+Configured for 256MB Fly.io containers:
+- **Go GC settings**: `GOGC=10` and `GOMEMLIMIT=100MiB` for aggressive Tailscale memory management
+- **GoAccess**: Static HTML generation (60-second intervals) instead of real-time WebSocket
+- **Nginx**: Reduced connection timeouts and buffer sizes
+- **Package optimization**: Minimal Alpine packages only
+
 ### Key Components
 
 - **nginx.conf**: Main configuration with rate limiting zones, server blocks for each subdomain, and GoAccess metrics endpoint
