What is Pyroscope?

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

• Find performance issues and bottlenecks 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

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.

• Golang Agent (Push)
• Golang Agent (Pull)
• Python Agent (pip)
• Ruby Agent (gem)
• Rust Agent (cargo)
• eBPF Agent
• PHP Agent
• .NET Agent

Example Code

We also have language-specific examples (using Docker) of how to run the server and agent together

• Python Pip Example
• Ruby Gem Example
• Rust Cargo Example
• Grafana Example
• Java Example
• PHP example
• .NET Example
