My AI App Crashes Randomly or Shows Error Pages
Your app works most of the time but randomly crashes, shows error pages (like 500 Internal Server Error), or becomes unresponsive. It's hard to reproduce because it doesn't happen every time.
Common Causes
- Unhandled null/undefined values — the app crashes when data is missing
- Memory leaks — the app uses more and more memory until it crashes
- Database connection pool exhausted — too many connections open
- Race conditions — multiple operations happening simultaneously cause conflicts
- Server running out of resources on a small hosting plan
How to Fix It
- Check server logs around the time of the crash for the actual error
- Monitor memory usage — if it grows over time, there's a memory leak
- Check database connection counts — they should stay within your pool limit
- Add error boundaries and try-catch blocks to prevent the entire app from crashing
- If using a free tier hosting plan, check if you're hitting resource limits

I've been working at a large software company named Kainos for 2 years, and mainly specialise in Platform Engineering. I regularly enjoy working on software products outside of work, and I'm a huge fan of game development using Unity. I personally enjoy Python & C# in my spare time, but I also specialise in multiple different platform-related technologies from my day job.

Caio Rodrigues
I'm a full-stack developer focused on building practical and scalable web applications. My main experience is with **React, TypeScript, and modern frontend architectures**, where I prioritize clean code, component reusability, and maintainable project structures.
I have strong experience working with **dynamic forms, state management (Redux / React Hook Form), and complex data-driven interfaces**. I enjoy solving real-world problems by turning ideas into reliable software that companies can actually use in their daily operations.
Beyond coding, I care about **software quality and architecture**, following best practices for componentization, code organization, and performance optimization.
I'm also comfortable working across the stack when needed, integrating APIs, handling business logic, and helping transform prototypes into production-ready systems.
My goal is always to deliver solutions that are **simple, efficient, and genuinely useful for the people using them.**

Get HelpFrequently Asked Questions
The app works fine most of the time but randomly crashes. Why?
Intermittent crashes are usually caused by unhandled edge cases — missing data, exhausted connections, or memory leaks. A developer can add proper error handling and fix the root cause.
Can you make my app more stable overall?
Yes. A developer can add error handling, monitoring, and fix underlying issues that cause instability.
