Summary

Datadog has introduced Continuous Profiler, an always-on, production code profiler that enables developers to analyze code-level performance across their entire environment with minimal overhead. The tool provides a flame graph of stack traces, allowing developers to visualize how their programs execute in production and identify potential bottlenecks. Datadog aggregates profiles to help users understand overall resource consumption and find hotspots in their code, while also providing features such as profile tagging, correlation with distributed tracing, and actionable insights for performance improvements. Continuous Profiler is now available for Java, Python, and Go, with support for other languages coming soon.
