Nextjs SSG site deploy works through cli, but hangs in CI and dashboard trigger deployments

Support
, ,
1

I’m trying to move over a website from Vercel to see if we can have the production deployment on the amazing Netlify platform, but I keep running into this strange issue. I appreciate any support.

Problem: Continuous deployments whenever I push to git and deployments triggered manually from the dashboard hang indefinitely.

Manual deployments through the cli command netlify deploy –build –prod work fine.

Stack: Nextjs SSG Site with Payload CMS and Neon Postgres DB.

Site: marn-web.netlify.app

Your build seems to be running into memory limit:

I’d recommend adding:

experimental: {
  cpus: 1
}

to your next.config.js

Just tried that, and it looks like it now completes the Generating static pages (0/574) ... step, but it seems to be timing out (?) on the next step, building the actual pages.

What’s the code for /en/solutions/marn-pay? Is there something that’s taking long?

Essentially this page and the others are under a Nextjs Dynamic Route where I’m fetching some data from a CMS with postgres (Neon) database (us-east-2) and passing it down to a component that renders it. Nothing should take too long.

import type { Metadata } from ‘next’

import { PayloadRedirects } from ‘@/components/PayloadRedirects’
import configPromise from ‘@payload-config’
import { getPayload } from ‘payload’
import { draftMode } from ‘next/headers’
import React, { cache } from ‘react’

import type { Page as PageType } from ‘@/payload-types’

import { RenderBlocks } from ‘@/blocks/RenderBlocks’
import { RenderHero } from ‘@/heros/RenderHero’
import { generateMeta } from ‘@/utilities/generateMeta’
import PageClient from ‘./page.client’
import { LivePreviewListener } from ‘@/components/LivePreviewListener’

export async function generateStaticParams() {
const payload = await getPayload({ config: configPromise })
const locales = [‘en’, ‘ar’]
const params: { slug: string
; locale: ‘ar’ | ‘en’ }
 = 

for (const locale of locales) {
const pages = await payload.find({
collection: ‘pages’,
locale: locale as ‘ar’ | ‘en’,
draft: false,
limit: 1000,
overrideAccess: false,
pagination: false,
select: {
slug: true,
},
})
pages.docs
?.filter((doc) => {
return doc.slug && doc.slug !== ‘home’
})
.map((doc) => {
params.push({
slug: doc.slug?.split(‘/’) || 
,
locale: locale as ‘ar’ | ‘en’,
})
})
}
return params
}

type Args = {
params: Promise<{
slug?: string

locale?: ‘ar’ | ‘en’ | undefined
}>
}

export default async function Page({ params }: Args) {
const { isEnabled: draft } = await draftMode()
const { slug: slugSegments = [‘home’], locale = ‘ar’ } = await params
const slugPath = slugSegments.join(‘/’) || ‘home’
const url = /${locale}/${slugPath}

let page: PageType | null

page = await queryPageBySlug({
slug: slugPath,
locale,
})

if (!page && slugPath === ‘home’) {
page = null
}

if (!page) {
return 
}

const { hero, layout } = page

return (




  {draft && <LivePreviewListener />}

  <RenderHero {...hero} />
  <RenderBlocks blocks={layout as any} locale={locale} />
</article>

)
}

export async function generateMetadata({ params }: Args): Promise {
const awaitedp = await params
const { slug: slugSegments = [‘home’], locale = ‘ar’ } = await params

const slugPath = slugSegments.join(‘/’) || ‘home’

const page = await queryPageBySlug({
slug: slugPath,
locale,
})
const meta = await generateMeta({ doc: page, locale })

return meta
}

const queryPageBySlug = cache(async ({ slug, locale }: { slug: string; locale?: ‘ar’ | ‘en’ }) => {
const { isEnabled: draft } = await draftMode()

const payload = await getPayload({ config: configPromise })

const result = await payload.find({
collection: ‘pages’,
locale: locale,
draft,
limit: 1,
pagination: false,
overrideAccess: draft,
where: {
slug: {
equals: slug,
},
},
})

return result.docs?.[0] || null
})

Not sure if this is relevant, but the standard build machine on Vercel is 4 vCPUs, 8 GB Memory, and it works just fine over there.

Thanks @hrishikesh . Apparently, the Nextjs server needed more resource than available for the build machine to generate static HTML for ~574 pages. In case anyone is facing a similar issue, I was able to solve it by setting experimental.cpus = 1 from the next config, setting

export const dynamic = ‘force-static’
export const revalidate = 86400 // 24h

in page.tsx for that route, and removing generateStaticParams(). This stops the server from generating the static pages during build time, but const dynamic = ‘force-static’ makes it so they’re prerendered as static content on the server during build time instead. The page will finally be rendered on the server only the first time it is requested–causing that first load to be slow. Set a long revalidation time with const revalidate = 86400 so the page is served from cache after that first slow page load, and then you’re free to revalidate the path with revalidatePath() or revalidateTag() when content is updated.

Sorry, I marked this as solution too early. It seems like although the build succeeds and the project is deployed successfully, pages don’t actually load.
