## Description

Add a machine that has \>16GB of RAM to support building large Android apps.

## Use case

Our Android app’s code currently requires ~10GB, and we foresee this as a problem **in the near future** (maybe sometime next year). If at some point the app requires more than the current maximum option, this means we cannot build our Android app on Bitrise.

Hi @dvdchr-tvlk,

Definitely a great idea, thanks for the #feature-request!

Just a note: you can configure **swap** in the meantime if you’d need more memory than the RAM available; just shared a guide about how swap can be configured on the Linux / Android / Docker stack: [How to add Swap on Linux/Android/Docker stack](http://discuss.bitrise.io/t/how-to-add-swap-on-linux-android-docker-stack/3557)

As always if you have any questions or feedback just let us know! 🙂
