Akamai SDK build timeout due to CPU/Memory starvation in GitHub Actions?

[jooooel]

What happened?

I'm trying to run pulumi up/preview in GitHub Actions, but there seems to be some issues with building the Pulumi Akamai Go SDK.

The job is stuck for a really long time and it looks like nothing happens. After a while (close to an hour maybe), the job fails and I get the following error:

The hosted runner: GitHub Actions 2 lost communication with the server. Anything in your workflow that terminates the runner process, starves it for CPU/Memory, or blocks its network access can cause this error.

Example

I have narrowed it down to building github.com/pulumi/pulumi-akamai/sdk/v6/go/akamai. Here is a minimal reproduction. One part is a main.go that only references the SDK. And the other part is the config for a GitHub Action that can trigger the issue.

package main

import (
	"github.com/pulumi/pulumi-akamai/sdk/v6/go/akamai"
)

func main() {
	_ = akamai.Property{}
}

name: "Test"

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - main

  pull_request:
    branches:
      - main

jobs:
  test:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: "Checkout code"
        uses: actions/checkout@v4

      - uses: actions/setup-go@v4
        with:
          go-version-file: go.mod
          cache-dependency-path: go.sum

      - name: Build
        run: |
          go build -v -o goapp

Not really relevant I guess...

Hi @jooooel. I'm sorry you're hitting that issue. Profiling Akamai, it looks like it takes ~2.9GB to build Akamai. That should fall within GitHub's memory limit, but its still a lot. We hope to be able to get that down in the near future.

Ah yes, that sounds like it could be an issue yes… do you have a recommendation about what do to in the mean time? Can I use pre built binaries for Akamai maybe? 🤔

[iwahbe]

You can't use a pre-built binary for Akamai (since it is a library), but you can use a pre-built binary for your pulumi program by setting the runtime: { ..., binary: "path/to/pre-built/binary" }. (docs)

I “solved” it by using a larger GitHub Action runner 😅

[iwahbe]

That also works 😄
