JavaScript heap out of memory error while running Angular SSR (Server-Side Rendering)


1. Increase Node.js Memory Limit

By default, Node.js has a memory limit of around 1.5 GB. You can increase this limit to prevent the heap memory error.

  • You can increase the memory allocation by setting the --max-old-space-size flag when starting the server. For example:

    bash
    node --max-old-space-size=4096 dist/server

    This will set the memory limit to 4 GB. You can adjust the number (4096 in this case) to allocate more or less memory as needed.

2. Optimize Angular SSR Code

If increasing the memory limit doesn't resolve the issue, the problem might lie within your SSR code. Here are a few optimizations you can consider:

  • Reduce Bundle Size: Minimize the size of your Angular bundle by optimizing the Angular application (using lazy loading, tree shaking, etc.).
  • Avoid Memory Leaks: Check your SSR-related services, components, and modules for potential memory leaks (e.g., unhandled subscriptions, large objects in memory).

3. Run Angular in Production Mode

Make sure you are building and running Angular SSR in production mode to enable optimizations:

bash

ng build --prod

4. Use pm2 or a Similar Process Manager

If you're using a process manager like pm2, you can also set the memory limit for Node.js when running the server. Example for pm2:

bash

pm2 start dist/server
--node-args="--max-old-space-size=4096"

This will allow pm2 to run with the increased memory limit.

5. Monitor Server Resources

Monitor your server's memory usage to identify if there are any spikes or inefficient memory usage patterns in your application. Tools like htop or top on Linux can help monitor memory consumption.

6. Update Dependencies

Sometimes, outdated packages or libraries can cause memory issues. Ensure your Angular, SSR-related dependencies, and Node.js are all up to date.

bash

npm update

After following these steps, try running your Angular SSR again and see if the heap memory error is resolved. Let me know if you need more specific assistance!

The differences between Angular SSR (Server-Side Rendering) and Angular SSG (Static Site Generation) can be summarized as follows
