Grafana Pyroscope Skill

Comprehensive guide for Grafana Pyroscope - the open-source continuous profiling platform for analyzing application performance at the code level.

What is Pyroscope?

Pyroscope is a horizontally-scalable, highly-available, multi-tenant continuous profiling system that:

• Collects profiling data continuously with minimal overhead (~2-5% CPU)
• Provides code-level visibility with source-line granularity
• Stores compressed profiles in object storage (S3, GCS, Azure Blob)
• Integrates with Grafana for correlating profiles with metrics, logs, and traces
• Supports multiple languages - Go, Java, Python, .NET, Ruby, Node.js, Rust
