What tools do you use for performance evaluation and profiling during application development?

To evaluate the performance and profile applications in Go, I use the following tools:
- pprof — a built-in package for profiling CPU, memory, and locks. It helps visualize bottlenecks and optimize code.
- Go Trace — for analyzing the scheduler and goroutines, helps identify concurrency issues.
- benchstat — for comparing benchmark results and assessing performance changes.
- Delve — a debugger that helps analyze code execution in real-time.
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/ and collect profiles.
