Creating an android-responsive project using the .gradle reaction on circleci ends with a maximum of 4 GB of memory. One of the problems causing pressure in memory is 30+ node workers working from the packer, each of which takes about 80 MB. The following is an example output. Looking through the packer code, it is not clear to me how to control this number. This is not an option available through the team react-native bundle.
