Azure Devops builds failing - Javascript Heap out of memory

Getting “Ineffective mark-compacts near heap limit Allocation failed - JavaScript heap out of memory” on all azure builds. Local builds are fine.

PS: I have seen Issue# 262

What did I try?

1. I tried all steps listed on Issue 262
2. Tried all solutions listed at https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/398343/azure-devops-pipeline-fatal-error-ineffective-mark.html
3. Edited csproject msbuild task RunWebpack to add node --max_old_space_size=4096. I see this gets executed twice and max_old_space_size is being ignored the second time. See below error.

<Target Name="RunWebpack" AfterTargets="ComputeFilesToPublish">
    <Exec Command="npm install" />
    <Exec Command="node --max_old_space_size=4096 node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack.js --config webpack.config.vendor.js --env.prod" />
    <Exec Command="node --max_old_space_size=4096 node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack.js --env.prod" />
    <!-- Include the newly-built files in the publish output -->
    <ItemGroup>
      <DistFiles Include="wwwroot\dist\**; ClientApp\dist\**" />
      <ResolvedFileToPublish Include="@(DistFiles->'%(FullPath)')" Exclude="@(ResolvedFileToPublish)">
        <RelativePath>%(DistFiles.Identity)</RelativePath>
        <CopyToPublishDirectory>PreserveNewest</CopyToPublishDirectory>
      </ResolvedFileToPublish>
    </ItemGroup>
  </Target>

Exact Error:

Getting error at "RunWebpackBuild"
