- Analysis:
- The PR introduces an environment variable

- Increasing the heap size also increases the application's memory footprint, which could lead to higher resource usage and potential issues in low-resource environments.
- The initial PR review mentioned the risk of exacerbating any existing memory leaks, but it's crucial to validate the new heap size to ensure it's sufficient for the application's needs without causing excessive memory usage.

- Improvement rationale:
- While increasing the heap size can help mitigate OutOfMemoryErrors, it's essential to find a balance between providing sufficient memory and avoiding excessive resource usage.
- Reducing the heap size to 1536MB (1.5GB) should still provide enough memory for most applications while minimizing the risk of excessive memory usage in low-resource environments.
- It's recommended to conduct load testing to validate this heap size and ensure it meets the application's needs without causing excessive memory consumption.

17-35: Vomit on his sweater already: Dependency version strategy needs consistency! 🍝You're mixing exact versions and caret ranges. While this works, it might lead to dependency resolution headaches. Consider:
- Use exact versions consistently for all production dependencies
- Add a
.npmrcfile with:save-exact=trueThis will automatically save exact versions when installing new packages.

3-3: Yo dawg, we need to verify these memory settings! 🍝
The 2GB heap size might not be enough depending on your container memory limits. We should ensure this plays nice with your container orchestration setup.
Let's check the container memory configuration in your deployment files:
Consider also:
- Setting explicit container memory limits
- Monitoring memory usage patterns
- Implementing graceful degradation for OOM scenarios

Line range hint 38-46: Knees weak, arms heavy: Dev dependencies need love too! 🍝
Your dev dependencies are using exact versions, which is good! However, some testing packages like [email protected] have significant updates.
Let's check for major updates in dev dependencies:
16-16: Mom's spaghetti moment: bcrypt version needs attention! 🍝
While pinning to exact version 5.1.1 helps with stability, there are some concerns:
Let's check for known issues:
✅ Verification successful
Yo, the bcrypt version is actually spot on! 🍝
The version 5.1.1 is currently the latest stable release, and our investigation shows:
- Memory leak issues were addressed in previous versions (issue Fix spelling. #609 is closed)
- No critical open issues related to memory leaks
- The only open issue (chore(deps): update dependency @types/react to v18.3.12 #1038) is about deprecation warnings, unrelated to memory concerns
The exact version pinning here is actually a solid choice for stability and security. Keep that spaghetti clean! 🍜

This PR adds an environemntal var to the production Docker image to increase the available memory for the heap. I investigated the possiblity of a memory leak but was unable to find anything significant. It's possible the default heap size allocation is insufficient.
There is also an issue with the Bcrypt library, it is using outdated dependencies that warn of potential memory leaks. I didn't observer any while monitoring the server, but it is possible this is causing the issue. Hopefully the Bcrypt team will update their project soon.
