I am trying to limit a node.js
application from using to much memory and I've found out about the --max-stack-size
& --max_executable_size
options that are available within V8 to pass when invoking the file, but how should I combine these and possible other arguments to limit max memory usage to 1GB?

What is the memory limit on a node process?
Currently, by default v8 has a memory limit of 512mb on 32-bit systems, and 1gb on 64-bit systems. The limit can be raised by setting --max_old_space_size to a maximum of ~1gb (32-bit) and ~1.7gb (64-bit), but it is recommended that you split your single process into several workers if you are hitting memory limits.
Value is in megabytes, I believe.
