Cap Node.js heap to prevent Lambda OOM during Jest runs
Social Media Post (Wes)
Our Lambda kept dying mid-Jest run. MongoMemoryServer plus a big import chain ate all 3 GB. Bumped to 4 GB and capped Node.js heap so it throws a catchable error instead of silently killing the whole process. The real lesson: if your subprocess can eat unbounded memory, cap it at the OS level, don't trust application-level limits alone.
