I want to simulate a heroku (500Mb) hosting limit on my local machine for testing!

Launching the application with --max_old_space_size 500
From here: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/FAQ#what-is-th...

Currently, by default v8 has a memory limit of 512mb on 32-bit systems, and 1gb on 64-bit systems. The limit can be raised by setting --max_old_space_size to a maximum of ~1024 (~1 GiB) (32-bit) and ~1741 (~1.7GiB) (64-bit), but it is recommended that you split your single process into several workers if you are hitting memory limits.
