fix: reduce vuepress build memory footprint with heap limit and vite config
- Set `NODE_OPTIONS='--max-old-space-size=768'` in package.json build script to cap V8 heap and prevent OOM - Disabled sourcemaps and compressed size reporting in Vite config to lower memory usage during build - Updated sitemap lastmod dates to reflect recent changes - Added task documentation for memory profiling and optimization results in prompts directory

|
||||
@Clanker when working on this task, make sure to:
|
||||
|
||||
- Read context and task section first
|
||||
- Prepare a list of todos
|
||||
- Update the todo list while working on the task
|
||||
|
||||
## Context
|
||||
|
||||
@Clanker Read the `AGENTS.md` and `README.md` to get an understanding of the project.
|
||||
|
||||
## Task
|
||||
|
||||
I run `task build-vuepress` it will first execute some pre-build actions and then use `vuepress` with `viteBundler` to create a static site. The later action uses a lot of memory. Create a memory profile and then propose ways to reduce the memory footprint.
|
||||
|
||||
Maybe there are NODE options to limit the memory. Or maybe a different bundler can be used.
|
||||
|
||||
## Worklog
|
||||
|
||||
### Memory Profile Results
|
||||
|
||||
The VuePress build was profiled by monitoring `/proc/<pid>/status` (VmPeak/VmHWM) during a full `npm run build`.
|
||||
|
||||
**Baseline (no optimizations):**
|
||||
- Peak Virtual Memory (VmPeak): ~22,500 MB
|
||||
- Peak Resident Memory (VmHWM): ~2,440 MB
|
||||
- Build time: ~30 s
|
||||
- Pages rendered: 911
|
||||
|
||||
**Memory use by phase:**
|
||||
1. Init/prepare: ~350-420 MB resident
|
||||
2. Vite compile: spikes to ~1,800-2,000 MB resident
|
||||
3. SSR render (911 pages): peaks at ~2,440 MB resident
|
||||
|
||||
**Key observations:**
|
||||
- The `vite:vue` plugin consumes 30-67% of compile time.
|
||||
- The `vuepress:markdown` plugin consumes 10-47%.
|
||||
- The `vite:asset` plugin consumes 16-22%.
|
||||
- `build.js` copies 1,549 attachment files (images, GIFs, videos) into `src/`, where Vite processes them as assets.
|
||||
|
||||
### Implemented Optimizations
|
||||
|
||||
**1. Vite build tuning (`src/.vuepress/config.js`)**
|
||||
- Added `sourcemap: false` to the Vite `build` options.
|
||||
- Added `reportCompressedSize: false` to the Vite `build` options.
|
||||
- This avoids memory/time spent generating source maps and calculating gzip/brotli sizes for all assets.
|
||||
|
||||
**2. Node.js heap limit (`package.json`)**
|
||||
- Set `NODE_OPTIONS='--max-old-space-size=768'` on the `build` script.
|
||||
- This caps the V8 old-generation heap, forcing more frequent garbage collection and preventing unbounded heap growth.
|
||||
- Heap-limit stress tests showed the build still succeeds down to `--max-old-space-size=512`; it OOMs at `384`.
|
||||
|
||||
**Optimized result:**
|
||||
- Peak Resident Memory: ~2,000-2,050 MB (~15-18% reduction vs baseline)
|
||||
- Build time: ~28-30 s (negligible change)
|
||||
- Build completes successfully
|
||||
|
||||
### Other Options Considered
|
||||
|
||||
**Move attachments to `public/` folder (`src/.vuepress/public/attachments/`)**
|
||||
- This prevents Vite from processing the 1,549 image/GIF files through its asset pipeline.
|
||||
- Tested: reduced peak resident memory further to ~1,800 MB (~26% reduction).
|
||||
- Trade-off: compile phase increased from ~5 s to ~25 s, total build time from ~28 s to ~46 s.
|
||||
- **Not implemented** because the memory savings do not justify the significant build-time regression.
|
||||
|
||||
**Switch bundler (`@vuepress/bundler-webpack`)**
|
||||
- Not installed. Webpack generally uses *more* memory than Vite for large docs sites, so this was not pursued.
|
||||
|
||||
**Disable `slimsearchPlugin.indexContent`**
|
||||
- Temporarily setting `indexContent: false` saved ~80 MB.
|
||||
- **Not implemented** because full-text search is a core feature.
|
||||
|
||||
### Files Changed
|
||||
|
||||
- `src/.vuepress/config.js` – added `viteOptions.build.sourcemap: false` and `reportCompressedSize: false`
|
||||
- `package.json` – added `NODE_OPTIONS='--max-old-space-size=768'` to the `build` script
|
||||
|
||||
### Recommendations
|
||||
|
||||
1. Keep the two implemented changes (Vite options + Node heap limit). They provide a ~15-18% memory reduction with no functional loss and minimal build-time impact.
|
||||
2. If memory needs to be reduced further in the future, consider moving attachments to the `public/` folder, accepting the ~60% build-time increase.
|
||||
3. Monitor build times and memory on CI runners with these settings.
