Build Fails - Memory Limit Exceeded or Process Killed
Deployment build fails with 'killed' status or 'out of memory' error. The build process gets terminated by the system before completing.
This happens when building large applications with many dependencies or heavy bundling requirements.
Error Messages You Might See
OOMKilled - killed due to out of memory
FATAL ERROR: CALL_AND_RETRY_LAST Allocation failed
Build step failed - killed
Error: JavaScript heap out of memory
Common Causes
- Too many dependencies or unused packages inflating bundle
- Large assets (images, videos) not optimized
- Build process running inefficiently, using more RAM than needed
- Deployment platform has lower memory than required
- Global or unused npm modules not removed from node_modules
How to Fix It
Analyze bundle: npm run build -- --analyze to see what's taking space
Remove unused dependencies: npx depcheck
Optimize images: use Next.js Image component with loading='lazy'
For Vercel: upgrade to Pro for 3GB memory. For Netlify: use build plugins to optimize
Consider: npx nx affected:build for monorepos, or split large apps

I am a technologist and product builder dedicated to creating high-impact solutions at the intersection of AI and specialized markets. Currently, I am focused on PropScan (EstateGuard), an AI-driven SaaS platform tailored for the Japanese real estate industry, and exploring the potential of Archify.
As an INFJ-T, I approach development with a "systems-thinking" mindsetâbalancing technical precision with a deep understanding of user needs. I particularly enjoy the challenge of architecting Vertical AI SaaS and optimizing Small Language Models (SLMs) to solve specific, real-world business problems. Whether I'm in a CTO-level leadership role or hands-on with the code, I thrive on building tools that turn complex data into actionable value.

I build and fix web apps across Next.js, Node.js, and DBs.
Comfortable jumping into messy code, broken APIs, and mysterious bugs.
If your project works in theory but not in reality, I help close that gap.

Caio Rodrigues
I'm a full-stack developer focused on building practical and scalable web applications. My main experience is with **React, TypeScript, and modern frontend architectures**, where I prioritize clean code, component reusability, and maintainable project structures.
I have strong experience working with **dynamic forms, state management (Redux / React Hook Form), and complex data-driven interfaces**. I enjoy solving real-world problems by turning ideas into reliable software that companies can actually use in their daily operations.
Beyond coding, I care about **software quality and architecture**, following best practices for componentization, code organization, and performance optimization.
I'm also comfortable working across the stack when needed, integrating APIs, handling business logic, and helping transform prototypes into production-ready systems.
My goal is always to deliver solutions that are **simple, efficient, and genuinely useful for the people using them.**

Get HelpFrequently Asked Questions
How do I check my bundle size?
Use npm run build with --analyze flag or use webpack-bundle-analyzer. Look for large dependencies
What are common culprits for large bundles?
Heavy libraries like Lodash (use lodash-es), unoptimized images, unused icon packs
Can I increase memory in deployment?
Vercel Pro gives 3GB memory. For more, deploy elsewhere or reduce bundle size
