If lsif-go is using too much memory, try setting --dep-batch-size=100 to only load 100 dependencies into memory at once (~1GB overhead). Lowering the batch size will decrease the overhead further, but increase the runtime a lot more because loading a batch has a fixed cost of ~500ms and each additional package loaded within a batch only adds ~10ms.
Use lsif-go --help for more information.
To keep your index up-to-date, you can add a step to your CI to generate new data when your repository changes. See our documentation on adding LSIF to your workflows.
