Puppeteer taking up too much space. Can't push app to Heroku

Question

I have a very small node app I am trying to push to Heroku, but puppeteer is taking up so much space that I am exceeding the 500MB slug size limit (532MB when compiled). What can I do to bring the slug size down? Everything else in node_modules is under 2MB.

Answer 1

Must Puppeteer install and run on Heroku? If not, remove it from package.json . Or, consider moving Puppeteer from package.json's dependencies to devDependencies .

If you do need Puppeteer running remotely on a server in the cloud, consider using a pre-existing cloud service that runs Puppeteer scripts:

• Google Cloud Functions - Serverless web performance monitoring using Cloud Functions
• AWS CloudWatch - Using synthetic monitoring
