Static Web App deployment failure

Question

Hello! Our Static web App deployments are suddenly failing with an unclear error message: Failure during content distribution.

The project is a Gatsby site with about 4500 pages deployed from Github. Deployments were working before and only thing that changed was that there's now much more pages/content than before, now about 4500 pages / 350MB data.

Any idea what could be causing this?

Answer 1

We actually managed to get things working. The trick was to "sanitize" our created pages' paths.

Before we had paths with non-ascii characters like: "/koskâvuotâ/ohtsâškoodán-päikkikuávlu-mun-tiäđám",
which were changed to: "/koskavuota/ohtsaskoodan-paikkikuavlu-mun-tiadam".

After that the deploys started working.

I can still open a support ticket if you want to investigate this further?

Answer 2

@tuomas.inkinen The one item you did not mention was the tier your static web app is running on. If this is a free tier static web app, then it sounds like you hit the 250 MB max size per deployment limit.

Storage (Included Qty. / Max Size per Deployment) 0.50 GB / 0.25 GB / per app Source

If running the free tier, can you please scale up to the standard tier and attempt your deployment again?

If you are already running a standard tier app and still encountering this error with your deployments, please reply back to this message so we can continue our investigation.
