Memory can now be increased with an environment variable. Set you environment variable like this

export NODE_OPTIONS=--max_old_space_size=4096

I think by default node gives you 1.7GB of heap you can use. You're going above this level which is causing the error. As far as I know you need to use the command arguments of max_old_space_size to give it a custom heap ram limit. I don't think there's a global way to set this besides just making it part of your deploy script.

I'd suggest looking at how your app is storing memory and see if you can get rid of memory in arrays and such that you don't need. If it's DB related then you may need to only do queries on a smaller chunk of data at a time.
