Hello, it has been a while since I've used Next.js, and I can't seem to figure out what I am doing wrong or how to approach this flow. Whenever, I build my application I get the following issue.

 Creating an optimized production build ...
 ✓ Compiled successfully

page in question

import { RecordCard } from "@/components/record-card"
import { getUserIdFromKindeId } from "@/lib/auth"
import prisma from "@/lib/prisma"

export default async function JournalPage() {
  const { id: userId } = await getUserIdFromKindeId();

  const records = await prisma.journalRecord.findMany({
    where: { userId }
  });

  return (
      <>
        {records.map((record) => (
            <RecordCard key={record.id} record={record} />
        ))}
    </>
  );
}

import "server-only"
import { getKindeServerSession } from "@kinde-oss/kinde-auth-nextjs/server"
import prisma from "@/lib/prisma"
import { redirect } from "next/navigation"

export async function getUserIdFromKindeId() {
  const { getUser } = getKindeServerSession();
  const kindeUser = await getUser();

  if (!kindeUser) redirect("/login");

  const user = await prisma.user.findUniqueOrThrow({
    where: {
      kindeId: kindeUser?.id,
    }
  });
  return user;
}

i have tried throwing if statements here and there but the build still fails. my middleware should also make sure kindeUser is present in these pages
