Perforator is a production-ready, open-source Continuous Profiling app that can collect CPU profiles from your production without affecting its performance, made by Yandex. Perforator is deployed on tens of thousands of servers in Yandex and already has helped many developers to fix performance issues in their services.
- Efficient and high-quality collection of kernel + userspace stacks via eBPF technology.
- Scalable storage for storing profiles and binaries.
- Support of unwinding without frame pointers and debug symbols on host.
- Convenient query language and UI to inspect CPU usage of applications via flamegraphs on any specified timeline.
- Supported languages: C++, Go, Rust, Java, Python, Node.js.
- Support of generating sPGO profiles for building your applications with Profile Guided Optimization (PGO).
Perforator runs on x86 64-bit Linux platforms consuming 512Mb of RAM (more on very large hosts with many CPUs) and <1% of host CPUs.
You can profile your laptop using local perforator record CLI command.
You can also deploy Perforator on playground/production Kubernetes cluster using our Helm chart.
