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

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.**

I’ve watched the tech landscape evolve over the last decade—from the structured days of Java Server Pages to the current "wild west" of Agentic-driven development. While AI can "vibe" a frontend into existence, I specialize in the architecture that keeps it from collapsing.
My expertise lies in the critical backend infrastructure: the parts that must be fast, secure, and scalable. I thrive on high-pressure environments, such as when I had only three weeks to architect and launch an Ethereum redemption system with minimal prior crypto knowledge, turning it into a major revenue stream.
What I bring to your project:
Forensic Debugging: I don't just "patch" bugs; I use tools like Datadog and Explain Analyzers to map out bottlenecks and resolve root causes—like significantly reducing memory usage by optimizing complex DB joins.
Full-Stack Context: Deep experience in Node.js and React, ensuring backends play perfectly with mobile and web teams.
Sanity in the Age of AI: I bridge the gap between "best practices" and modern speed, ensuring your project isn't just built fast, but built to last.

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
