RE: Build Servers with Raspberry Pi 3 & BitScope Blade

Here is the answer in a nutshell from why Pi 3 cannot be used in production on raspberrypi.org site:

Unfortunately, after nearly 12 hours and 1.5 million requests, our Pi 3 fell over with a kernel panic. As expected, the load balancer re-routed all the traffic to the main VMs, leaving virtually no impact apart from a handful of people whose requests were in progress at the time. We investigated what had happened, and found that the Pi 3 had managed to run out of memory and be driven into swap.

PS Key point is why did memory not increase to 2 GB? Only Eben Upton knows.
