go-torch is a command-line tool that stochastically profiles Go programs by collecting stack traces via pprof and rendering them as flame graph SVGs. It is now deprecated because flame graph visualization is built into Go 1.11's `go tool pprof`.
Use cases
- generate flame graphs from go program cpu profiles
- visualize pprof profiles as flame graphs
- profile a running go service via /debug/pprof endpoint
- convert saved binary pprof profiles to flame graph svg
- find cpu hotspots in go applications
When to choose
- you are stuck on Go < 1.11 and cannot install the standalone google/pprof tool
- you need raw call graph output for Brendan Gregg's FlameGraph scripts
When to avoid
- you are on Go 1.11 or later - use `go tool pprof -http` instead
- you need a maintained or supported profiling tool
- you need memory or non-CPU profiling beyond what pprof already provides
