Build failure happening due to docker container exceeding memory limit

[Syed Mohammed Ali Hussaini]

I am having a recurring issue where I am unable to have pipelines that work with sonar cloud due to the error message : Container 'docker' exceeded memory limit.

I am unable to figure out why I am firstly supposed to use the image in a build since all I want to do is to take the code from my repository and put it in sonarcloud for analysis I have not been able to analyse a single piece of code even after following the template available for bitbucket pipelines from sonar cloud

image: python:3.8 # Choose an image matching your project needs

clone:
 depth: full # SonarCloud scanner needs the full history to assign issues properly

definitions:
 caches:
  sonar: ~/.sonar/cache # Caching SonarCloud artifacts will speed up your build
 steps:
 - step: &build-test-sonarcloud
   name: Build, test and analyze on SonarCloud
   caches:
    - pip # See https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucket/caching-dependencies-895552876.htm
    - sonar
   script:
    - pipe: sonarsource/sonarcloud-scan:1.2.0
      variables:
         SONAR_TOKEN: ${SONAR_TOKEN}

 - step: &check-quality-gate-sonarcloud
    name: Check the Quality Gate on SonarCloud
    script:
     - pipe: sonarsource/sonarcloud-quality-gate:0.1.4
       variables:
          SONAR_TOKEN: ${SONAR_TOKEN}


pipelines: 
  branches:
    feature/*:
      - step: *build-test-sonarcloud
      - step: *check-quality-gate-sonarcloud
  pull-requests:
     '**':
      - step: *build-test-sonarcloud
      - step: *check-quality-gate-sonarcloud

I would like to know why am I being restricted to memory exceeded when I am using cloud services and how can I change my code to adhere to the restrictions ?
