+### Docker memory requirements
+
+The default `docker-compose.yml` launches eight containers: Zookeeper, 
PostgreSQL, and six Druid containers. Each Druid service is configured to use 
up to 7 GB of memory (6 GB direct memory and 1 GB heap). However, the 
Quickstart will not use all the available memory.
+
+Docker needs at least 6 GiB of memory available for the Druid cluster. If you 
experience any processes crashing with a 137 error code you likely don't have 
enough memory allocated to Docker.

Review comment:
       Thanks for the edit!
   
   It seems that [On native Linux, Docker can use all available host 
memory](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/62649255/how-to-increase-check-default-memory-docker-has-on-linux).
 So the memory limit seems to be a MacOS thing. It can be adjusted using the 
[Docker Desktop](https://docs.docker.com/desktop/mac/) for mac.
   
   This is worth noting because when we're on Linux (Ubuntu) we will be happy 
as clams, but then we get slammed when we do the same thing on MacOS.
