Memory continuous goes high

[JayJariwala50]

I start game socket server using forever npm.
I monitor that server day to day. i found that memory increase day to day.
Day 1 : CPU 3.3% ,MEMORY 2.0%
Day 2 : CPU 2.3% ,MEMORY 5.0%
Upper analysis say that memory continuous goes high.
Why memory not release from that server ?
Server : - Ubuntu Amazone EC 2(Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS)
Node Version : - 4.4.4
Npm Version : - 2.15.1
Forever npm version : - 0.15.1

Why memory not release from that server ?

Possibly a memory leak in the code you're running. Or possibly just the nature of a garbage-collected language like JavaScript.

This is unlikely to be a bug in Node.js itself and it's not actionable given the scant details currently provided. I'm going to close this but feel free to:

• open an issue in https://github.com/nodejs/help to get help figuring out what's happening; (FWIW, I like the article http://www.nearform.com/nodecrunch/self-detect-memory-leak-node/ on tracking down memory leaks)

• provide details here that would allow someone to reproduce the issue you are reporting; if you do that, include a request in your comment that you'd like this issue to be re-opened
