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:
- Requires very minimal overhead
- Can store years of perf data down to 10 second granularity

Every .01 seconds, the Pyroscope agent wraps around your Python, Ruby, or Go application to poll the stacktrace and calculate which function is consuming your CPU resources.
