The best way to solve it, to keep it cleaned well. You should try to figure out which globals have a bigger size. And if it's are part of your app, you may try to figure out which one could be cleaned safely and at what time. 

Should work with Docker. And I would recommend this way

You can look for IRIS drivers here
