Segmentation fault (core dumped)
A program accessed memory it wasn’t allowed to, and the kernel killed it with SIGSEGV (exit code 139).
MaxListenersExceededWarning: Possible EventEmitter memory leak detected. 11 listeners added
More than 10 listeners were added to one event — often a leak where listeners are added repeatedly.
AWS Lambda: Task timed out after X seconds
The function ran longer than its configured timeout (default 3 seconds) and Lambda stopped it.
Lambda: Request must be smaller than 6291456 bytes for the InvokeFunction operation (RequestEntityTooLargeException)

API Gateway {"message": "Internal server error"} 502 — Malformed Lambda proxy response
The Lambda behind an API Gateway proxy integration returned something that isn’t the required {statusCode, headers, body} shape,…
C/C++: free(): double free detected / double free or corruption (out) — Aborted (core dumped)
Memory was freed twice or the heap was corrupted (buffer overflow, freeing a non-heap pointer), so glibc aborted the program.
The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000005) / Exception code 0xc0000005 access violation
A program tried to read or write memory it doesn’t own and Windows stopped it — buggy software, bad drivers/plugins, security sof…
Redis: OOM command not allowed when used memory > 'maxmemory'
Redis reached its maxmemory limit and the eviction policy (noeviction) refuses new writes.
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space
The JVM ran out of heap memory and garbage collection couldn’t free enough.
MemoryError (Unable to allocate X GiB for an array)
Python couldn’t allocate memory — the data is larger than available RAM or address space.
InvalidParameterValueException: The role defined for the function cannot be assumed by Lambda
The execution role’s trust policy doesn’t allow lambda.amazonaws.com — or the role was just created and IAM hasn’t propagated yet.
Blue Screen: MEMORY_MANAGEMENT (Stop code 0x0000001A)
Windows detected a severe memory-management error — commonly faulty RAM, unstable memory settings or a bad driver.
Two steps away (34)
Kubernetes: CrashLoopBackOff
The container starts, crashes (or exits), and Kubernetes keeps restarting it with increasing back-off delays.
RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded
A function called itself (directly or indirectly) too many times — usually infinite recursion.
Killed / Out of memory: Killed process (Linux OOM killer)
The kernel ran out of memory and killed a process to recover — the program just prints “Killed” (exit code 137).
Kubernetes: OOMKilled (exit code 137)
The container used more memory than its limit, and the kernel killed it.
FATAL ERROR: Reached heap limit Allocation failed - JavaScript heap out of memory
The V8 heap hit its limit — a large build (webpack, tsc, Next.js) needs more memory, or the app leaks.
RangeError: Invalid string length
A string grew beyond the engine’s maximum length — usually runaway concatenation or huge JSON.stringify output.
AWS: ThrottlingException / Rate exceeded
You exceeded the request rate for an AWS API; retry with exponential backoff.
HTTP 504 Gateway Timeout
A proxy or gateway waited too long for the upstream server to respond and gave up.
java.util.concurrent.TimeoutException
A Future.get(timeout) or async operation didn’t complete in the allowed time.
HTTP 413 Content Too Large (Request Entity Too Large)
The request body is bigger than the server is willing to accept — usually a file upload over the configured limit.
Too many open files (EMFILE)
The process hit its file-descriptor limit — sockets, files and pipes all count.
Runtime.ImportModuleError: Unable to import module 'lambda_function': No module named 'x'
Lambda couldn’t load your handler file or one of its dependencies — the package is missing from the deployment zip/layer or the h…
HTTP 500 Internal Server Error
The server hit an unexpected condition — usually an unhandled exception or misconfiguration in the application.
HTTP 502 Bad Gateway
A proxy or gateway (Nginx, load balancer, CDN) got an invalid response — or no response — from the upstream server behind it.
Runtime.HandlerNotFound: index.handler is undefined or not exported
Lambda loaded the file but couldn’t find the function named in the handler setting.
Fatal error: Unexpectedly found nil while unwrapping an Optional value
Swift force-unwrapped (`!`) an optional that was nil, crashing the app.
FATAL: the database system is in recovery mode
PostgreSQL crashed (often OOM-killed) and is replaying WAL to recover.
The kernel appears to have died. It will restart automatically.
The Jupyter kernel process crashed — usually out of memory or a native library crash.
The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b)
A program loaded a DLL of the wrong architecture (32-bit vs 64-bit) or a corrupted runtime library.
fork: Cannot allocate memory / ENOMEM
The kernel refused a memory allocation — RAM and swap are exhausted, or overcommit/cgroup limits block it.
Illegal instruction (core dumped) (SIGILL)
The program used a CPU instruction your processor doesn’t support — typically AVX/AVX2 in prebuilt binaries (TensorFlow, MongoDB…
ReplyError: NOAUTH Authentication required.
The Redis server requires a password (or ACL user) but the client didn’t authenticate.
Gradle: Expiring Daemon because JVM heap space is exhausted / java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space during build
The Gradle daemon (or Kotlin daemon) ran out of memory compiling or dexing the project.
System.OutOfMemoryException: Exception of type 'System.OutOfMemoryException' was thrown
The process couldn’t allocate memory — large in-memory data, leaks, 32-bit process limits, or container memory limits.
PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of X bytes exhausted
The script tried to use more memory than PHP’s `memory_limit` allows.
java.lang.NullPointerException
Code called a method or accessed a field on a reference that is `null`.
java.util.ConcurrentModificationException
A collection was modified while being iterated (even in a single thread).
