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.

memory leak is the casino developer’s bane. They are best avoided through garbage-collection software, tracking available resources, or good programming in the form of reference-counting. Players can do their part to avoid leaks simply by being careful not to make too many changes at once, not loading too many scripts, and configuring their browser to clean its cache regularly. All things being equal, memory management on a game wiki comes down to maintaining a reasonable balance between the number of requests users are making to the wiki and the amount of memory it has available. It also helps to test a wiki periodically for performance and stability. If you’re developing a casino game wiki, remember to tune up your server from time to time, and make sure your players know how to be good wiki citizens.

Developers should use profiler and automatic updates to eliminate memory leaks. Garbage collection and clever caching will ensure fast loading. Wikipedians should save early and often, avoid uploading large images, and close unused tabs. (Modern browsers help here). Wikis should set upload size limits and use a CDN. Clean and compact, and conversations will never stop. That’s what I said.

I am a casino game developer, and all my memory leaks are on the back end. Our wiki software prevents them by running garbage collection, closing database connections, and ensuring no large or infinite loops exist in the code. Casino players do not get involved with the backend, just editing pages. If you are the developer or site administrator, make sure your CMS is current, check the server logs after each edit, and use a memory profiler. Remove any unnecessary functions and cache efficiently. In conclusion, keep it simple; leave the technical details to the developers, and your site will be stable for both players and editors.
