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.
fork: Cannot allocate memory / ENOMEM
The kernel refused a memory allocation — RAM and swap are exhausted, or overcommit/cgroup limits block it.
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).
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.
Redis: MISCONF Redis is configured to save RDB snapshots, but it's currently unable to persist to disk
Redis couldn’t write its RDB snapshot (disk full, permissions, fork failed), so it blocks writes to protect data.
Redis: OOM command not allowed when used memory > 'maxmemory'
Redis reached its maxmemory limit and the eviction policy (noeviction) refuses new writes.
Kubernetes: OOMKilled (exit code 137)
The container used more memory than its limit, and the kernel killed it.
The kernel appears to have died. It will restart automatically.
The Jupyter kernel process crashed — usually out of memory or a native library crash.
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.
Laravel/PHP: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 20480 bytes) in vendor/laravel/framework
A request (or artisan job) used more memory than PHP's `memory_limit` allows.
Two steps away (36)
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.
RangeError: Invalid string length
A string grew beyond the engine’s maximum length — usually runaway concatenation or huge JSON.stringify output.
Blue Screen: MEMORY_MANAGEMENT (Stop code 0x0000001A)
Windows detected a severe memory-management error — commonly faulty RAM, unstable memory settings or a bad driver.
Error: Unhandled 'error' event (events.js / node:events)
An EventEmitter (stream, socket, child process, server) emitted 'error' and nothing listened for it, so Node crashed.
Lambda: Runtime exited with error: signal: killed (Runtime.ExitError)
The function process was killed — almost always because it ran out of its configured memory.
Error: listen EADDRINUSE: address already in use :::3000
Another process is already listening on that port.
Error: write EPIPE
Node wrote to a pipe or socket whose other end was already closed.
RangeError [ERR_CHILD_PROCESS_STDIO_MAXBUFFER]: stdout maxBuffer length exceeded
child_process.exec/execSync produced more output than its buffer allows (default 1 MB).
PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of X bytes exhausted
The script tried to use more memory than PHP’s `memory_limit` allows.
Composer: PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 1610612736 bytes exhausted

FATAL: the database system is in recovery mode
PostgreSQL crashed (often OOM-killed) and is replaying WAL to recover.

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).
java.lang.StackOverflowError
The thread’s call stack overflowed — almost always unbounded recursion, sometimes a bidirectional toString/equals/JSON cycle.
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…
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.
No space left on device, but df shows free space (inodes exhausted)
The filesystem has run out of inodes — the slots for files — even though there are gigabytes free, usually because of millions of…
Redis: READONLY You can't write against a read only replica
The client is connected to a replica (or a failed-over node) and tried to write.
Redis: evicted_keys growing — keys vanish unexpectedly because maxmemory is reached and a volatile/allkeys eviction policy is active
Redis removed keys to stay under `maxmemory` according to the eviction policy.
ReplyError: NOAUTH Authentication required.
The Redis server requires a password (or ACL user) but the client didn’t authenticate.
Thread 1: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (code=1, address=0x0)

WordPress: Post-processing of the image failed likely because the server is busy or does not have enough resources
The image uploaded but WordPress couldn’t generate its resized versions — memory/CPU limits or Imagick problems.

Docker container keeps restarting (Restarting (1) x seconds ago)
The container crashes on start and its restart policy (always/unless-stopped/on-failure) starts it again in a loop.
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.
Cloud Run: Memory limit of 512 MiB exceeded with 530 MiB used. Consider increasing the memory limit
The container used more memory than the Cloud Run service allows, so the instance was terminated.
MongoDB: Out of memory: Killed process (mongod) — WiredTiger cache + queries exhausted RAM
The Linux OOM killer terminated `mongod` because the host ran out of memory.
GitHub Actions: Error: Process completed with exit code 137 (Killed — out of memory)
The command was killed by the system with SIGKILL (128 + 9), almost always because the runner ran out of memory.
MongoServerError: Exceeded memory limit for $group, but didn't allow external sort. Pass allowDiskUse:true to opt in
An aggregation stage needed more than 100 MB of RAM and spilling to disk wasn't enabled.

Node ran out of memory while building a large Next.js app (or on a small CI/Vercel runner).
Laravel: No application encryption key has been specified.
Laravel’s APP_KEY is missing, so it can’t encrypt sessions and cookies.
