contributing: buildup failing on Gitpod

[lassiraa]

Describe the bug

When launching a gitpod instance with aws-cdk, the buildup fails at the aws-cdk-lib package.

Expected Behavior

Successful buildup when starting up Gitpod.

Current Behavior

Error with following JS stacktrace:

Reproduction Steps

Going to Contributing and starting up a Gitpod instance leads to the issue.

Possible Solution

The error is some sort of out of memory error, so could the issue be due to the limited amount of memory on the Gitpod instances, or perhaps something worse? I've tried using the 8 GB and 16 GB RAM instances with the same end results. Obviously the current builds are succeeding, so I am guessing it's something Gitpod specific in this case.
