A collection of in-depth notes by felixge on Go's profiling methods, including the pprof tool and format, stack traces, goroutine, and block profiling. It serves as educational documentation rather than a software tool.

Use cases

• understand how go pprof profiling works
• learn to read pprof profile data
• debug goroutine leaks with profiling
• understand block and mutex profiling in go
• learn about go stack traces
• find resources on go profiling and observability

When to choose

• you want to deeply understand go profiling internals
• you are learning to use pprof and interpret its output
• you need a curated reference of go profiling resources

When to avoid

• you need an actual profiling tool or library to run
• you need profiling for languages other than go
• you need complete coverage of heap, cpu, or wallclock profiling, which are still marked as coming soon
