Using KafkaContainer on CircleCI fails

@DirtiesContext
@SpringBootTest
@ContextConfiguration(initializers = Intializer )
abstract class BaseIntegrationTest extends Specification {
public static KafkaContainer kafka = new KafkaContainer()
static {
    BaseIntegrationTest.kafka.start()
}
static  class Intializer implements ApplicationContextInitializer<ConfigurableApplicationContext>{
    @Override
    void initialize(ConfigurableApplicationContext applicationContext) {
        System.setProperty("kafka.consumer.endpoint", BaseIntegrationTest.kafka.bootstrapServers.replace("PLAINTEXT://", ""))
    }
}
} 

I have posted my code above I have a lot of tests that inherit this class. When I run any test class from Intellij it works fine but On circle CI the build fails with the following error.

I guess you were using EmbeddedKafka? If so, it runs in the same JVM process and there is no additional memory allocation, but now you start a separate Kafka process (with Docker). But, if I am right, you can easily lower heap size for your tests because previously it was shared with embedded Kafka, and your app was not using all 2Gb if heap
