Continuous profiling with Grafana Pyroscope: developer experience, flame graphs, and more

Did you hear the news? Grafana Phlare and Pyroscope are merging to form a new open source continuous profiling project under the name Grafana Pyroscope. In this session, the project leads will share their philosophy of how continuous profiling can improve developer experience, helping engineers gain a deeper understanding of their systems, quickly identify and resolve issues, and ultimately, deliver better software faster.

They’ll also provide an update on the new project roadmap and progress so far, including recent improvements around performance and scale in the continuous profiling database, flame graph visualization of profiling data in Grafana, and ease of use for profile collection.
