Summary

Pyroscope, a profiling tool acquired by Grafana Labs in 2023, has introduced an ad hoc profiling mode that complements its continuous profiling capabilities. This new feature is designed to provide a seamless and efficient way to profile scripts, offering users the ability to generate and share interactive flame graphs in a standalone HTML format. The ad hoc mode is beneficial for profiling scripts and analyzing performance issues without the need for continuous monitoring. With the ability to export and share profiles easily, users can leverage Pyroscope's visualization and UI features to better understand and communicate performance data. Additionally, Pyroscope stores profiles permanently, allowing for ongoing analysis and comparison. Future enhancements are planned, including support for more languages and formats, as well as improved UI functionalities to further enrich the profiling experience.
