Hi, you should ask questions like this in stackoverflow. To answer your question you can run it like this node --max-old-space-size=8192 node_modules/webpack-dev-server/bin/webpack-dev-server.js

@B3zo0 I don`t think increase the max-old-space-size is a good solution, even though I have not better solution
