Grafana Pyroscope is an open-source continuous profiling platform and database that aggregates, stores, and queries profiling data (CPU, memory, I/O) down to the source code line number. It integrates natively with Grafana so profiles can be correlated with metrics, logs, and traces as another observability signal.
Use cases
- find cpu bottlenecks in production
- debug memory leaks down to a line of code
- reduce cloud infrastructure costs by optimizing resource usage
- store and query continuous profiling data at scale
- correlate profiling data with metrics logs and traces
- investigate latency incidents with flamegraphs
- monitor application performance trends over time
When to choose
- you need continuous, always-on profiling in production with durable long-term storage
- you want a Prometheus-like single-binary profiler that scales horizontally with multi-tenancy
- you already use Grafana and want profiles as an additional observability signal
- you need line-level root cause analysis for CPU, memory, or I/O issues across Go, Ruby, Python, and other runtimes
When to avoid
- you only need occasional ad-hoc profiling during local development rather than always-on production profiling
- you need a managed SaaS offering with support rather than self-hosting (consider Grafana Cloud Profiles)
- your license requirements are incompatible with AGPL-3.0
- you need profiling for platforms without supported instrumentation agents
