Grafana Phlare, open source database for continuous profiling at scale

• Grafana

  380 60,503 10.0 TypeScript

  The open and composable observability and data visualization platform. Visualize metrics, logs, and traces from multiple sources like Prometheus, Loki, Elasticsearch, InfluxDB, Postgres and many more.

  

I suspect this is partially because internal efforts and agendas take priority over open source community at this point.

For example, I created an issue requesting a flamegraph visualization in grafana[1] and now it makes sense that they didn't initially respond because they were building it internally in secret and didn't want to spoil the big reveal (when they did respond they did mention that it was a secret).

They're also less incentivized now to tend to issues and PRs that help others outside of their ecosystem (i.e. competing logs, metrics, tracing, profiling, etc products).

  magic-trace collects and displays high-resolution traces of what a process is doing

  

Would love to see this integrate with magic trace [1]. I'll need to look at the code for the flamegraph plugin, because handling nanosecond timestamps in flamegraphs seems to break most tools due to float precision.

  Firefox Profiler — Web app for Firefox performance analysis

  

Elsewhere they reference making updates to the Grafana Agent in the future, but it's hard to say what "scrape profiles" means.

But I really, really like the idea. Often when I want to test the performance of a change I'll launch test and control canary instances with a small percentage of live traffic, run perf against each, collect the data, load it into a local https://profiler.firefox.com/, and try to compare the differences. It would be awesome to automate that process. Beyond that, I often keep notes about the tests but the profiles themselves are a real pain to store and catalogue.
