Build timeout with error ENOMEM in Amplify

Question

I have a Next.js 14 application, my Amplify builds randomly timeout after 30minutes with the following error:

**ESLint: ENOMEM: not enough memory, read**

When it does not fail it usually builds after 7 minutes. I have tried increasing NODE_OPTIONS=--max-old-space-size=8240 but that doesn't seem to help

Hi there,
#### Quick Fixes:

1. **Upgrade Build Environment:**
   - Use a larger build instance in the Amplify console for more memory.

2. **Optimize Build Process:**
   - Reduce memory usage by optimizing your build, like limiting files or splitting tasks.

3. **Increase Memory Allocation:**
   - Set `NODE_OPTIONS="--max-old-space-size=12288"` to increase memory for the build.

4. **Disable ESLint:**
   - Temporarily disable ESLint during the build by setting:
     ```bash
     CI=true npm run build
     ```

5. **Check Logs:**
   - Review the Amplify build logs to find where memory spikes.

Hope this helps! 😁
