Pyroscope is an open source continuous profiling platform. It will help you:

• Find performance issues in your code
• Resolve issues with high CPU utilization
• Understand the call tree of your application
• Track changes over time

🔥 Pyroscope Live Demo 🔥

Features

• Can store years of profiling data from multiple applications
• You can look at years of data at a time or zoom in on specific events
• Low CPU overhead
• Efficient compression, low disk space requirements
• Snappy UI
• Support for Go, Ruby and Python

Try Pyroscope locally in 3 steps:

# install pyroscope
brew install pyroscope-io/brew/pyroscope

# start pyroscope server:
pyroscope server

# in a separate tab, start profiling your app:
pyroscope exec python manage.py runserver # If using Python
pyroscope exec rails server               # If using Ruby

# If using Pyroscope cloud add flags for server address and auth token
# pyroscope exec -server-address "https://your_company.pyroscope.cloud" -auth-token "ps-key-1234567890" python manage.py runserver
