I’m a casino game developer who manages a game wiki and a game Q& A forum, and I absolutely hate memory leaks. If you are programming one of these games, use tools such as Valgrind to find coding errors that cause memory leaks, and implement draconian memory usage policies on your source code. If all else fails, consider using a garbage-collected language such as Python.

Wiki editors should remember not to upload big images or include excessive Javascript. I urge them to perform edits off-peak, and cache results whenever possible. Cache game data, and use a cloud content delivery network (CDN) to distribute screenshots and videos. Monitor with tools such as New Relic to watch the server’s performance.

Third, and finally, back up data often and deploy software that can automatically restart failed machines.

programmers who do regular checks for memory leaks, cleanup after API calls, and monitor image/cache usage. Gamblers? They never look at code. Only post small changes, no big uploads, and fix busted links. Wiki must be clean and responsive. That's all. Tighten up.
