StackBlitz Rate Limits
Overview
WebContainer resource limits: memory, CPU, file system size, process count.
Instructions
Step 1: WebContainer Resource Limits
| Resource | Limit | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Memory | ~2GB | Shared with browser tab |
| File system | Ephemeral, in-memory | Lost on page refresh |
| Processes | Multiple concurrent | Each consumes memory |
| Network | HTTP only | No raw TCP/UDP sockets |
| npm packages | Most work | Native addons not supported |
Step 2: Handle Memory Pressure
// Monitor memory usage inside WebContainer
const proc = await wc.spawn('node', ['-e', `
setInterval(() => {
const mem = process.memoryUsage();
const mbUsed = Math.round(mem.heapUsed / 1024 / 1024);
if (mbUsed > 500) console.warn('High memory: ' + mbUsed + 'MB');
}, 5000);
`]);
Step 3: Optimize File System Size
// Mount only essential files -- skip test files, docs, etc.
const productionFiles: FileSystemTree = {
'package.json': { file: { contents: minimalPackageJson } },
src: { directory: { /* only source files */ } },
// Skip: tests/, docs/, .git/, large assets
};
await wc.mount(productionFiles);
Error Handling
| Issue | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Tab crashes | OOM | Reduce mounted files, fewer deps |
| Slow npm install | Large deps | Use --prefer-offline, fewer packages |
| Process killed | Memory limit | Monitor with memoryUsage() |
