Bug report

Describe the bug

Once the project creation is completed, when it is starting, fails on admin start up, logs shows a last message saying memory allocation of n bytes failed.

System information

Medusa version (including plugins):
Node.js version: v18.15.0
Database: postgres (PostgreSQL) 14.5 (Debian 14.5-1.pgdg110+1)
Operating system: Windows 11
Browser (if relevant): Chrome 129.0.6668.90 (Build oficial) (64 bits)

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Execute npx create-medusa-app@latest and wait for it to complete
2. Once the whole project is build it prompt to Chrome and error appears

Expected behavior

I am expecting localhost:7001 to show the admin login page but instead i get and error and immediatly the server goes down.

Screenshots

While the project is starting it prompts to http://localhost:7001 and takes sometime loading, like 20 seconds, after that it shows this:

Then in the logs it shows this

Code snippets

If applicable, add code samples to help explain your problem

Additional context

• It happens exactly the same once the project is build and i execute medusa develop or medusa start and medusa-admin start
• The memory bytes could change on every initialization.
• I tried setting NODE_OPTIONS="--max-old-space-size=8192" but there was no effect.

Unless you have a reproduction of the issue, or you can pinpoint why it's happening, I'm afraid we can't do much about it. I would suggest to maybe start using 2.0 as it has somewhat lower memory requirements
