Vue/Vite - Reached heap limit Allocation failed - JavaScript heap out of memory (unplugin-vue-components)

I am running into a memory issue when building using Vite:

Below is my vite.config.js file:
import { defineConfig } from "vite";
import laravel from "laravel-vite-plugin";
import vue from "#vitejs/plugin-vue";

}),
vue({

transformAssetUrls: {

});
The problem seems related to the unplugin-vue-components package. If I remove the below from the config file, it works:
Components({
resolvers: [PrimeVueResolver()]
}),
This problem seems to be closely related to this open issue on the Vite repository on Github: https://github.com/vitejs/vite/issues/2433
I'm experiencing the exact same problem on a React/Vite config.

Why is socket.io file emission using so much memory?

I have a NestJS/Node.js application using socket.io for websocket communication. In this particular case, while trying to send a BufferArray content nearly as big as 1MB, our server (with 500MB of RAM limit) crashes. Why is the socket connection demanding so much memory if the "file" being sent is just 1MB big?
This is the section of the app that listens for a ws command coming from the client and sends the content back:
#SubscribeMessage('report')
async listenToReportRequests(
#MessageBody() data: any,
#ConnectedSocket() client: Socket
) {
console.log('Received report request');
const params = data['0'];
const reportType = data['1'];
const timezone = data['2'];
const report = await this.analyticsService.getExcelReport(
params as IExcelReportOptions,
reportType as EExcelType,
timezone,
);
console.log('Finished generating the report', report.byteLength);
client.emit('sendReport', report);
console.log('Emitted report');
}
The crash log is shown as:

Streaming data to gzip file crashes with "JavaScript heap out of memory" (NodeJS)

I have this little script to dump a bunch of text data from a source to disk in the form of gzip. Most sources I pull from work without issue, but I've come up against one which is throwing JavaScript heap out of memory.
Here's a snippet of what it's doing
const fs = require('fs');
const zlib = require('zlib');
const file = fs.createWriteStream('file.gz');
const gzip = zlib.createGzip();
gzip.pipe(file);
// ... code to connect to someDataSource would be here
someDataSource.on('data', (line) => { // feeding lines of text
gzip.write(line);
});
someDataSource.on('done', () => {
// crashes before this point
gzip.end();
});
I suspect the zlib module is buffering way more than it should before flushing to disk. At the time of the crash the gz file is only about 4MB large. Like I said above other data sources I pull from work, and all of those produce gz files well over 50MB.
The docs on the module are here: https://nodejs.org/api/zlib.html#zlib_class_options
I'm not sure how to tweak the options to get this to behave.

add a drain eventlistener. Because writing data to bootstrap is a synchronous behaviour.
someDataSource.on('data', (line) => { // feeding lines of text
const ok = gzip.write(line);
if(!ok) {
someDataSource.pause();
}
});
gzip.on('drain', () => {
someDataSource.resume();
});
someDataSource.on('done', () => {
// crashes before this point
gzip.end();
});
or use pipe method directly.
someDataSource.pipe(gzip).pipe(file);
You can also try to increase the memory allocated to Node.js:
node --max-old-space-size=8192 your_script.js

nodejs webworker-threads crashes after a lot of postMessages

After a lot of postMessages to a webworker I get an abort and stacktrace as shown below in my original question.
I decreased the interval from 250ms to 6ms and then this problem appears earlier in time, about 45min instead of 6-9 hours.
The code is rather simple
mainapp.js
const Worker = require('webworker-threads').Worker;
var myappwebworker = new Worker('./myappwebworker.js');
myappwebworker.addEventListener('message', function(e) {
console.log(e)
});
setInterval(function() {
myappwebworker.postMessage('hello');
}, 250); // or 5 for abort in about 45min
myappwebworker.js
self.addEventListener('message', function(e) {
self.postMessage('You said: ' + e.data);
}, false);
What is the reason for this? Do I run out of heap because the garbage collector don't have time to run or something similar? In any case what can be done to prevent this?
This was the original question until I updated based on my findings
Title:nodejs webworker-threads debugging, where to start?
If I get this kind of stack traces after 7-8 hours of running my nodejs app, how do I start to debug this to find the culprit in my code?

There are messages posted at least 4 times a second to the webworker and the code
The webworker is set up in this fashion
const Worker = require('webworker-threads').Worker;
mywebworker = new Worker('./myappwebworker.js');
setInterval(function() {
mywebworker.postMessage('hello');
}, 250);
Other events also trigger messages to the worker. The system is Ubuntu 16.04 and node V10.15.3
In node what is the best method to find the problem causing this?
Two things come to mind.
If you leave the debug window open, depending on the application, trash collection can be halted, causing this kind of issue. Caught me out several times with hard working processes such as video through OpenCV.
setInterval() I believe, won't care if the inner-code is executed or is blocking (That is, blocking when it shouldn't be or blocking too long).
If blocked for more than 250ms, you'll be building up the stack.
Perhaps this kind of code will give you a better debugging experience, if postMessage halts, you'll not build up stack:
function doIt() {
mywebworker.postMessage('hello');
setTimeout(function() {
doIt();
},250);
}
doIt();

Two possible reasons for this FATAL ERROR to occur
Either you are pushing data in each iteration of an infinite loop, after few seconds as it reaches the memory space, the server crashes and this error is shown. So, You need to check your code for this error.
Or you are if you are really working with huge datasets and the dataset is already of size more than standard limit of file size a node script can handle then you can use the following command to overwrite the default memory size handled by node script.
node --max-old-space-size=myFileSize myFile.js
example
node --max-old-space-size=4096 myFile.js
