    I’ve encountered this issue several times in the past. It’s because of lack of memory. t2.micro only has 1 GB of memory. Building is relatively memory-intensive so you need adequate amount of it, otherwise it either crash or just hangs.

    As a temporary measure (not recommended) you can try adding a swap space, try at least 4 GB to start. e.g.:

    sudo fallocate -l 4G /swapfile
sudo chmod 600 /swapfile
sudo mkswap /swapfile
sudo swapon /swapfile

    If it doesn’t solve the issue, try increasing the swap or better yet get a better specced instance.

    Also, I suggest using tg4.small which has bigger memory and better performance. It’s free at the moment (and has been free for the past 2-3 years). Just keep in mind it is ARM, not x86.

    When building a Next.js project on an EC2 t2.micro instance, you might encounter performance issues due to the limited resources (1 vCPU and 1 GB of memory) available on this instance type. How to solve it? there are many ways to resolve it :

    Upgrade your instance type
    Optimize Your Build
    Increase Swap Space
    or add the following command on npm run build

    NODE_OPTIONS="--max-old-space-size=512" next build
