How Pyroscope works

Pyroscope identifies performance issues in your application by continuously profiling the code.

If you've never used a profiler before, then welcome!

If you are familiar with profiling and flame graphs, then you'll be happy to know that Pyroscope:

  • Can store years of perf data down to 10 second granularity
  • Uses a unique, inverted flame graph for increased readability
