That would make my day. I have a 64GB RAM PC because I work on 2 or 3 angular apps at a time and since my PC is the fastest I also use it for CI builds on occasion. It's a nightmare to wait 20 minutes for an optimized prod build. And having to upgrade everyone's RAM so they can contribute to the front end is horrible. We are past 10GB of RAM required to start the dev server.

10GB!! How big is this project!? Could you split it up somehow?

We actually just worked on splitting it up into libraries. The shared library might actually make the ending build larger due to it being potentially duplicated (I'm not certain about this until I test it). Unfortunately that has to go on hold temporarily. It is a large Healthcare application in the therapy space. The ending build is actually fine, but the tooling eats RAM like something else.

Little by little I take large third party libraries and rewrite them on my own to drop 5MB includes. I'm sure that is part of it. Devextreme and Syncfusion are libraries I would strongly recommend avoiding.

Syncfusion added 15MB to my bundle size :( I like their components but they aren't lightweight by any means.
