What is Pyroscope?
Pyroscope is an open source continuous profiling platform. It will help you:
- Find performance issues and bottlenecks in your code
- Use high-cardinality tags/labels to analyze your application
- Resolve issues with high CPU utilization
- Track down memory leaks
- Understand the call tree of your application
- Auto-instrument your code to link profiling data to traces
🔥 Pyroscope Live Demo 🔥
Features
- Minimal CPU overhead
- Efficient compression, low disk space requirements
- Can handle high-cardinality tags/labels
- Can store years of profiling data from multiple applications
- Calculate the performance "diff" between various tags/labels and time periods
- Advanced analysis UI
Add Pyroscope Server locally in 2 steps:
Pyroscope supports all major architectures and is very easy to install. for example here is how you install on a mac:
# install pyroscope
brew install pyroscope-io/brew/pyroscope
# start pyroscope server:
pyroscope server
Send data to server via Pyroscope agent (language specific)
For more documentation on how to add the Pyroscope agent to your code see the agent documentation on our website or find language specific examples and documentation below
