Description
Profiling is all about measuring applications dynamically at runtime to understand their CPU usage, memory usage, and other important metrics. Profiling can yield deep insights about your application’s performance at runtime right down to the line of code that allocated some memory, or created a thread.
Previously profiling was almost always performed on a “point in time” basis; continuous profiling improves upon this methodology by introducing a new dimension to your profiling results: time.
This talk shows how you can get started with continuous profiling by combining Juju and Parca, and how snaps & charms can ease the integration of such complex processes into your workflow.
