Container 'Build' exceeded memory limit nodejs

[andy.tsoi]

Hi,

I am trying to build and deploy my nextjs monorepo, I am not using any extra services and only the setting the default bit bucket docker's node image. 

Why am i getting "Container 'Build' exceeded memory limit.", anyway the extend my build container memory?

** my AppB is smaller app so it deployed with no problem, it just App A failed

below is my pipeline file:

---

image: node:16.16.0

definitions:

  caches:

    yarn: /usr/local/share/.cache/yarn

    nodecustom: ./node_modules

    nextcacheAppA: ./dist/apps/appA/.next/cache

    nextcacheAppB: ./dist/apps/appB/.next/cache

pipelines:

  branches:

    master:

      - parallel:

        - step:

          size: 2x

          caches:

            - yarn

            - nodecustom

            - node

            - nextcacheshell

         name: Build and Deploy App A SIT

         deployment: SIT

         script:

           - yarn install --frozen-lockfile && export NETLIFY_SITE_ID=$SIT_SITE_ID && npx netlify deploy --build --prod --site $SIT_SITE_ID --auth $NETLIFY_AUTH_TOKEN

       - step:

          name: Build and Deploy App B SIT

          script:

            - yarn install --frozen-lockfile && export NETLIFY_SITE_ID=$APPB_SIT_SITE_ID && npx netlify deploy --build --prod --site $APPB_SIT_SITE_ID --auth $NETLIFY_AUTH_TOKEN

Hi @andy_tsoi and welcome to the community.

I see that you have created a support ticket for this issue, but I wanted to leave a reply here as well for any other users who may come across your post facing the same issue.

• Each step in a Pipelines build has 4 GB of memory available.
• If you use size: 2x for a step, like in the yml file you posted, this step will have 8 GB of memory available. This is the maximum supported in Pipelines builds. Please note that 2x pipelines will use twice the number of build minutes.
  
  
• You can debug the build locally as per this doc to check memory usage and see if you can configure your build to use less memory.
• Once you have set it up and the build is running locally, you can use the docker stats command (you need to run this in a separate window) and print the output to a file in a loop

while true; do date >> mem.txt && docker stats -a --no-stream >> mem.txt && sleep 2; done &

• If certain steps need more than 8 GB of memory, you can look into using Runners for these steps, as with Runners you can configure up to 32GB (8x) of memory.

Kind regards,
Theodora
