You can check in the kernel logs if you’re OOMing (check /var/log/kern.log or others) and the solution is to add additional memory by upgrading the droplet.
If you see messages like:
[1711385.762978] Out of memory: Kill process 21405 (apache2) score 47 or sacrifice child
[1711385.763420] Killed process 21405 (apache2) total-vm:296064kB, anon-rss:23560kB, file-rss:0kB
(but with python instead of apache), then your processes are indeed being killed because of OOMing.
If this is a one-time thing and you don’t expect to regularly use this much RAM, consider temporarily using a swap file.
