Bitbucket pipelines: front end app build failed with memory limits

Question

Problem is the memory limit during client side app build step in pipelines

Here is the screen

The problem located in front end module - common lib

We solved the problem by removing new export from the lib - it is 43 line of export.

common/src/index.tsx now has 42 line of code and every line it's a export of smaller module

Before we figure out it, we tried to increase memory limit, but we were understand that the reason in source code, not in memory limit, at the same time after increase memory limit the build were failed.

Now we thinking about adding this common lib into separate step of build and build the lib as a remote app with needed exposed modules (in front end module federation terms).

The question is about this possible solution - Is it proper way of solving the problem or might you can give others ideas, suggestions

Thanks in advanced!

Hi, Aron Gombas!

Thank's a lot for the answer! Will play more with increasing memory limit.

Both of these are very basic suggestions, but hey:

* You can give both more mem and faster CPU to your build using "size: 2x"! We are using this setting with certain builds, and it is worth even if it costs more.
* Breaking a mega build to smaller units (modules) is always a good practice. If you can do it, you should do it.
