Bug Description

Im creating a e commerce cms, in which I have 17 content-types, and I needed to add a simple statistics page, just to bundle it with the cms and dont create a separate project for it. However, I tried to build the project locally on my laptop which has 12gb ram, 512gb storage and i5 11k, and it failed because it was running out of memory, I also tried a different device still same issue. The root of the issue is the extension, which is a complete separate app by it self, frontend and backend, I dont understand why would need to create a full React project just to add a simple extension? I removed the extension and the build was successful. For now I just removed the extension, but what option do we have for such issues? this makes the admin panel extension very not useful.

Steps to Reproduce

1- create new strapi app. 2- add couple content-types ( I have 17 in my case) 3- create a new extension following this guide https://docs.strapi.io/cms/admin-panel-customization/extension 4- run npm run build

Expected Behavior

It should not use so much memory
