🔧 Checking the CI/CD Pipeline

Friday, 4:58 PM

You open .gitlab-ci.yml (or .github/workflows/deploy.yml if you're on GitHub).

Something catches your eye immediately:

build:
  image: node:18-alpine
  script:
    - npm ci
    - npm run build
  # memory: 2GB  <-- This line is commented out!

Wait. Someone commented out the memory limit? You check the blame:

Author: intern-alex
Date: Yesterday
Message: "cleanup: remove unused comments"

The intern. Of course. Thought it was a comment. It wasn't.

The analytics dashboard commit also added a huge dependency. That explains the memory spike.

✅ Fix the YAML and restore memory limits

Uncomment the memory configuration, bump it to 4GB to handle the new dashboard, and redeploy. This is the right fix.

🔄 Just restart the runners

Maybe the runners are just stuck. Hit that restart button and pray. Sometimes it just works™.
