# Typesense OOM crash when exporting a large collection

## The problem

Exporting a large collection (~4.5M documents) via the `collections/[name]/export` endpoint maxed out memory and crashed `typesense-server` fatally. The v0.24.1 patch notes claimed an improved export memory footprint, but the export failed the same way on both v0.24.0 and v0.24.1. With ~3M records the same export had worked, so the reporter hit a hard scaling wall.

## The verified fix

The export memory blowup was comprehensively fixed in Typesense 0.25.0. Upgrade to 0.25.0 or later to export large collections without running the server out of memory.
