Lightsail SSH Stops Working - Visual Code

Question

I am using SSH remote connection to Visual Code that works for a short period of time and then drops connection as files are updated. Once connection drops SSH stops working completely; connection timeout from FileZilla, and no connection from console web terminal. The instance must be stopped and restarted to get SSH  working again.

1 GB RAM, 2 vCPUs, 40 GB SSD 
MEAN Package

Any guidance on fix or recommendation is appreciated!

I think I found answer. Visual Code by default runs process on host that cause instance to crash. On smaller sized instance you have to disable some processes like TypeScript JS intellisense.

Hello.

The following was stated in the VSCode RemoteSSH extension recommendation:  
The remote host requires 1GB or more of RAM, and 2GB or more is recommended.  
I think it will probably work with 1GB, but I don't think it will be very stable because of the small amount of memory.  
https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/ssh  
> 1 GB RAM is required for remote hosts, but at least 2 GB RAM and a 2-core CPU is recommended.

I've also seen some similar reports on GitHub issues.
