[frizadiga]

Yes. It is the development environment. For me it is around the same.

It's normal in the modern JS/webpack world. Under 500MB is quite good compared to other frameworks.

It because webpack-dev-middleware handles files in memory by using memory-fs as files system, so all bundles and webpack compilation related files are all stored in memory.

For production, we recommend you use nuxt build & start instead of dev.
