Failed to build due to out of memory issues for Next JS app

1

Hi,

I have specified my node version as 18.0.0 and --max-old-space-size=16384 but I still get these errors on building.

Ran out of memory (used over 8GB) while building your code.

This issue does not appear to have been solved yet so I have contacted support as well.

I am on the 16 GB instance and I wonder if there’s any way to increase the build container memory as well.

Hi Luke,

One thing to note is upgrading the instance type only changes the run time specs. Build containers are the same regardless and are currently limited to 8 GB of memory. We do have this existing feature request I’d encourage you to upvote https://feedback.render.com/features/p/more-powerful-build-machines.

If you can make any changes to your build process to optimize for memory consumption, I’d start there.

I’ll also follow up with you in your support ticket with more information specific to your service.

Best,

Matt
