Introducing “Explain Flame Graph”: Stop Fighting Fires and Start Explaining Them

Coralogix has introduced the Explain Flame Graph, an AI-powered analysis tool designed to simplify the process of identifying system performance bottlenecks and suggesting code-level optimizations, making performance profiling accessible to developers of all skill levels. Traditional flame graphs can be difficult to interpret manually due to the complexity of self-time versus child-frame latency calculations, but this tool automates navigation and bottleneck detection while providing actionable insights for code improvements. It continuously monitors production environments to stay relevant with real-world application behavior, aiming to enhance efficiency and reduce cloud costs and carbon footprint. By transforming raw stack trace data into clear insights, the Explain Flame Graph democratizes the power of profiling, shifting the focus from manual investigation to automated, high-velocity performance management.
