Node.js native bindings (C++) to the V8 profiler, exposing CPU profiling and heap snapshot APIs programmatically. It integrates with node-inspector for debugging and performance analysis of Node applications.

Use cases

  • profile cpu usage of a node.js application
  • take heap snapshots to find memory leaks
  • compare two heap snapshots to detect memory growth
  • export v8 cpu profiles for analysis in devtools
  • adjust cpu profiler sampling interval
  • integrate profiling into node-inspector

When to choose

  • you need programmatic CPU or heap profiling in Node.js
  • you are maintaining legacy code already using v8-profiler or node-inspector

When to avoid

  • starting a new project - use the built-in inspector module or modern profilers
  • you need actively maintained software with recent updates
  • you need profiling for non-V8 runtimes
