Can I build spring-native boot image in low resources machine (like AWS CodeBuild Linux Small 2vCPUs / 3gb ram)?

Question

I want to build boot build image for GraalVM spring native project using AWS CodeBuild called from AWS CodePipeline, but the build process stops at missing RAM resources. I tried the default spring builder and the following one: paketobuildpacks/builder:tiny.

The specification of the machine is Linux Small - BUILD_GENERAL1_SMALL - LINUX_CONTAINER 3 GB RAM, 2 vCPUs and 64 GB of disk space. The image of the environment is aws/codebuild/standard:6.0.

At my local MacBook M1 Pro, it takes around 5.5 GB of ram (checked in Docker Desktop stats), so I tried at the second plan of BUILD_GENERAL1_MEDIUM as well, and the process went couple lines further, but at the end it was killed as well.

The partial stack trace can be found below (must be cut due to SO spam limits):

Sometimes the process is finished by code 137:

I tried to pass some limits of resources using

• passing arguments to the gradle using gradle.properties: org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx512m
• passing argument JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS and BPL_JVM_THREAD_COUNT to the BuildBootImage gradle tasks using the following code. In the logs the limit is logged but there is nothing in results.

    tasks.withType<org.springframework.boot.gradle.tasks.bundling.BootBuildImage> {
        if (org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.condition.Os.isArch("aarch64")) {
            builder.set("dashaun/java-native-builder-arm64:latest")
        } else {
            builder.set("paketobuildpacks/builder:tiny")
        }
        environment.set(
            mapOf(
                "JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS" to "-Xmx512m",
                "BPL_JVM_THREAD_COUNT" to "50",
                "BP_NATIVE_IMAGE" to "true",
                "BP_JVM_VERSION" to "17",
                "BP_NATIVE_IMAGE_BUILD_ARGUMENTS" to "--initialize-at-run-time=io.netty.handler.ssl.BouncyCastleAlpnSslUtils"
            )
        )
        imageName.set(rootProject.name)
    }

I am looking for any option to pass to the Docker environment or paketobuildpacks to limit used resources?
