Answer from AI
The following tools are often used for analyzing the performance of applications in Go:
- pprof — a built-in package for profiling CPU, memory, locks, and goroutines. It allows collecting and visualizing profiles in the form of graphs and flamegraphs.
- Go Trace — a tool for tracing program execution events, helping to identify issues with concurrency and delays.
- Benchmark tests from the
testingpackage — enable measuring the performance of individual functions. - External tools, such as Prometheus for monitoring metrics in production.
Example of using pprof:
import (
"net/http"
_ "net/http/pprof"
)
func main() {
go func() {
log.Println(http.ListenAndServe("localhost:6060", nil))
}()
// main application code
}
After starting, you can connect to http://localhost:6060/debug/pprof/ to collect profiles.
