Rails elastic Beanstalk cannot deploy -

Error says cannot allocate memory but lots of googling has shown native gems are troubling on beanstalk.

 Gem::Ext::BuildError: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

      /opt/rubies/ruby-2.1.10/bin/ruby extconf.rb
  Cannot allocate memory - /opt/rubies/ruby-2.1.10/bin/ruby extconf.rb 2>&1

  Gem files will remain installed in /opt/rubies/ruby-2.1.10/lib/ruby/gems/2.1.0/gems/json-1.8.3 for inspection.
  Results logged to /opt/rubies/ruby-2.1.10/lib/ruby/gems/2.1.0/extensions/x86_64-linux/2.1.0-static/json-1.8.3/gem_make.out

is there a way to verify beanstalk can install this gem without problems?

Letting the build system package all the dependencies take up more resources than the default EC2 instance can handle.

Increase the size of your EC2 instance/ Swapfile during ElasticBeanstalk deployment to fix this issue.

Did you attempt locally package the gems in Beanstalk? https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/devops/locally-packaging-gem-dependencies-for-ruby-applications-in-elastic-beanstalk/
