Summary
OpenTelemetry has announced that its Profiles signal has entered public Alpha, marking a significant step toward establishing a unified industry standard for continuous production profiling. This development aims to provide a common framework for capturing low-overhead performance profiles in production environments, which helps troubleshoot incidents, improve user experience by making software faster, and reduce computation costs. The announcement invites broader community use and feedback on this profiling capability that complements existing OpenTelemetry signals like traces, metrics, and logs.
Key quotes
· 4 pulledToday, the Profiling SIG is proud to announce that the Profiles signal has officially entered public Alpha, and we are ready for broader community use and feedback.
Continuously capturing low-overhead performance profiles in production is a technique that has been used for decades.
It helps troubleshoot production incidents, improves user experience by making software faster and reduces computation costs by making the same work take less resources.
Historically, the industry lacked a common framework and protocol for continuous profiling, even with formats like JFR and pprof being popular.
