Question

What to do when I get BuildJobOutOfMemory?

Using Dockerfile with DO App platform, we sometimes get BuildJobOutOfMemory. We tried switching from basic to professional for each component, but that didn’t solve it.

How do I add more ram to the build process?

Hello @amocsy,

The error indicates that you are running out of memory and should consider using a larger instance size for your App.

Here’s the documentation link on error codes:

Let me know how it goes. Regards, Bobby
