Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

JVM Profiling in Action
We'll use async-profiler and flame graphs for profiling. To simplify the process, we'll run the code using JBang.

All my favorite tracing tools: eBPF, QEMU, Perfetto, new ones I built and more
which can output in a format understood by Brendan Gregg's flame frames (https://www.brendangregg.com/flamegraphs.html)
But that's not quite the kind of tracing you're talking about. We also built a printf-style interface to our recording files, which seems closer:

Recap of Werner Vogels' Keynote at re:Invent 2023
Strategies included discontinuing or resizing underutilized services, transitioning to more cost-effective solutions, reducing the current resources to the amount of resources that we need for our application, and conducting detailed analyses of computing resource utilization through tools like flamegraphs. This detailed scrutiny helped identify and rectify significant cost-driving areas, such as garbage collection and application configurations.

Flameshow: A Terminal Flamegraph Viewer
Historically brendangregg's since AIUI he basically invented flamegraphs

So if you can make your tool eat whatever https://github.com/brendangregg/FlameGraph is fed with you're going to support a lot of existing tooling across OSes and languages.

Introducing Flame graphs: It’s getting hot in here
“Flame graphs are a visualization of hierarchical data, created to visualize stack traces of profiled software so that the most frequent code-paths to be identified quickly and accurately.”

Using SVG to create simple sparkline charts
SVGs are amazing for interactive visualisation too. Like Flamegraphs: https://www.brendangregg.com/flamegraphs.html

Good example of using flame graphs to speed up java code (50x improvement)
This may be a good example of the application of a flame graph but it is not a good demonstration of flame graphs; the graph is nearly incidental. The source has an actual explanation.

Intro to PostGraphile V5 (Part 1): Replacing the Foundations
A profiling flame graph from Graphile Crystal (a precursor to Grafast) using GraphQL.js' executor (each tick is 1ms, total: 29ms). As we removed more and more responsibilities from GraphQL.js, we ended up only using it for output. Replacing this final responsibility with a custom implementation in Graphile Crystal itself, we reduced execution time for this query down to 15.5ms (effectively removing the majority of the yellow portion of the flame graph).

The Return of the Frame Pointers
JIT'ed code is sadly poorly supported, but LLVM has had great hooks for noting each method that is produced and its address. So you can build a simple mixed-mode unwinder, pretty easily, but mostly in process.
I think Intel's DNN things dump their info out to some common file that perf can read instead, but because the *kernels* themselves reuse rbp throughout oneDNN, it's totally useless.
Finally, can any JVM folks explain this claim about DWARF info from the article:
> Doesn't exist for JIT'd runtimes like the Java JVM
that just sounds surprising to me. Is it off by default or literally not available? (Google searches have mostly pointed to people wanting to include the JNI/C side of a JVM stack, like https://github.com/async-profiler/async-profiler/issues/215).

Tracking Java Native Memory with JDK Flight Recorder
debugging native calls in itself is also painful. I have switched to using async-profiler (https://github.com/async-profiler/async-profiler) instead of JFR for most of my usecases.

Lettuce (Redis) + Mybatis (MySQL) take up most of the CPU in production - Is it normal? Did you observe that in your environment? Any ways to optimize it?
Hi, today I used async-profiler to check the CPU usage of my Spring Boot app (just a normal backend) in production. Surprisingly, Lettuce (Redis) + Mybatis (MySQL) take up most of the CPU time. I am not talking about wall time here, but CPU time, since I know database requests need to wait for milliseconds and thus wall time will be very long. Therefore, I wonder:

what is your favorite programming trick/tool that not many People know about?
I have used visual vm quite a bit. https://github.com/async-profiler/async-profiler is also amazing... Throw the binary on the system and fire it up. It also profiles down into native code as well if you do that kind of thing.
