Gatsby deploy returns SIGKILL (it works locally)

Hello! I’m trying to deploy my website by means of

gatsby build

And while locally it works ok, on Netlify I’m getting a SIGKILL and no real explanation.

My website is at gianlucabelvisi.com
Git repo is: GitHub - gianlucabelvisi/gianlucabelvisi.com

After many attempts by recreating the project from scratch and adding stuff until it broke, I isolated by original problem: it seems that the build failed because I was executing a static query on 4 images larger than 1MB each. Reducing the size of the images fixed it.

Makes me think that maybe the deploy job interrupts too soon? It didn’t seem like too much to ask for, and on my machine it works fine.

Hey there, @gianlucabelvisi :wave:

Thanks so much for following up with your solution. This will definitely be beneficial for future Forums members who encounter something similar. I encourage you to check out Build Performance Pro Tips as well :slight_smile:

Hey Hillary, thank you!
