Description

Currently the memory required by the commons-operator scales with the amount of Pods in a K8s cluster.
This can lead to more or less unbounded memory usage.

We need to investigate how we can limit this.
One possibility to limits this is by leveraging the work that will be done in https://github.com/stackabletech/issues/issues/188

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reading the linked Stackable issue #188 and measuring how commons-operator memory changes with the number of Pods in a cluster. Done should be a decided, bounded-memory approach with evidence that it addresses the reported scaling behavior.
