JavaScript heap out of memory

[sedghi]

As we are getting closer to release, our API documentation is getting much bigger :) but recently I'm facing problems in the build regarding memory issues. I put the logs below. I can do cross-env NODE_OPTIONS=--max_old_space_size=10240 docusaurus build locally and it is fine, but netlify doesn't allow more than 6GB and fails miserably. I was wondering if you know such memory problems either in this plugin, or typedoc or in docusaurus.

@sedghi It's definitely not this plugin as I simply call out to typescript and typedoc.

I'd suggest trying to build the typedoc docs using typedoc itself and see if that's the problem https://typedoc.org/guides/installation/
