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.

When counting lines in Ruby randomly failed SerpApi deployments
We used rbspy to generate the flamegraph:

EventMachine Performance Spikes
You could use rbspy to profile the EventMachine process as it's doing the workload, and try to see there where most of the time is being spent.

Rails Resque - AWS ECS task randomly stuck
Not sure what your issue is and you got some of this info from strace, but FYI rbspy can also help profile where a running Ruby process is spending its time: https://rbspy.github.io/. I think it's a little more helpful than strace in that it should bring it back to Ruby code rather than just showing the raw syscalls.

Optimizing your tests in 5 steps
Even the most general profiler tool will show you each statement's accumulated time. These are called statistical profilers and give you a panoramic view of what the test is doing. An example of such a profiler is rbspy:

Fantastic Symbols and Where to Find Them - Part 2
As a result, you need to craft a specific routine for each interpreter runtime (in some cases, each version of that runtime) to obtain symbol information. Educated eyes might have already noticed, it's not an easy undertaking considering the sheer amount of interpreted languages out there. For example, a very well known Ruby profiler, rbspy, generates code for reading internal structs of the Ruby runtime for each version.

How to use strace on threads managed by supervisor? i.e. i want to ´supervisorctl restart someService´ and strace someService.
For production, it depends on what the process is built with. There are possibly better tracing tools than just strace. For example Java has JMX, Go has pprof. There's also things like rbspy for Ruby.

Why Is JRuby Slow?
I was a bit surprised to find out that the tool used to generate the flamegraph for Ruby (rbspy [1]) is written in Rust. lol

Profiling Rails app that uses websockets
Maybe https://github.com/rbspy/rbspy would allow you to profile the running ruby process handling web sockets?

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
https://www.brendangregg.com/flamegraphs.html
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).
