Continuous Profiling

Find the code burning your cloud budget. Line by line.

Kloudfuse captures CPU, memory, and contention profiles 24/7 in production. Flame graphs live in the same data lake as the rest of your telemetry, queried from the same place.

Kloudfuse continuous profiling — CPU flame graph for az-service, process_cpu, broken down to the individual function

CPU flame graph — time attributed down to the function

Always on. No sampling tradeoffs.

Continuous collection from production, not ad-hoc sessions. Low-overhead sampling profiles every service, every minute, without impacting request latency.

Pyroscope-compatible. No new tooling.

Grafana Alloy pulls standard pprof endpoints. Same configuration patterns your team already knows. No proprietary agents or sidecars.

One data lake, one query surface.

Profiles are stored and queried alongside the rest of your telemetry rather than in a separate profiling tool. One platform, not three browser tabs.


From flame graph to root cause.

See exactly which function is burning resources. Down to the line.

Kloudfuse captures seven profile types continuously: CPU, memory allocation, mutex contention, block, goroutine, wall-clock, and disk I/O. Each renders as an interactive flame graph that breaks down consumption to the individual function and line number.

  • One view, three problems — CPU hotspots, memory leaks and mutex contention
  • Delta memory profiling — catches allocation leaks before they trigger OOM kills
  • Wall-clock profiling — captures the I/O-bound time CPU profilers miss

Profiling, answered.

What is continuous profiling and how is it different from ad-hoc profiling?

Continuous profiling samples CPU usage, memory allocations, and contention data from production services 24/7, storing every profile for historical analysis. Ad-hoc profiling requires an engineer to manually attach a profiler to a running process, capture a snapshot, then disconnect. The difference: continuous profiling catches the 3 AM memory leak that ad-hoc profiling never sees. Kloudfuse stores profiles in Apache Parquet format with configurable retention on local PVC (50GB default) or long-term on S3/GCS.

What languages does Kloudfuse continuous profiling support?

Go and Java have first-class support with documented setup guides. Go applications get the deepest coverage with seven profile types including CPU, delta memory, mutex, block, goroutine, wall-clock, and disk I/O. Because Kloudfuse uses the Pyroscope protocol for ingestion, applications instrumented with Pyroscope SDKs for Python, Ruby, Node.js, .NET, and Rust are also compatible.

Does continuous profiling add overhead to production services?

Kloudfuse uses low-overhead sampling profiler technology designed for 24/7 production use. Sampling-based profiling captures statistical snapshots of call stacks at configurable intervals rather than instrumenting every function call. Developers control data granularity and sampling rates. The collection agent (Grafana Alloy) runs in pull mode, scraping pprof endpoints on a schedule, so application code is not modified for collection.

How does profiling data connect to metrics, logs, and traces?

Profiling data lands in the same unified data lake as all other observability signals. When a trace shows a slow span, you navigate directly to the flame graph for that service and time window. When a metric dashboard shows a CPU spike, you drill into the exact functions consuming cycles. K-Lens, Kloudfuse's AI-assisted analysis engine, ranks the attributes most associated with a profiling anomaly to surface root cause hypotheses.

Do I need to install a proprietary agent for profiling?

No. Kloudfuse profiling uses open standards exclusively: applications expose standard pprof endpoints, and Grafana Alloy collects profiles in pull mode using the Pyroscope protocol (pyroscope.scrape and pyroscope.write). For Kubernetes environments, service discovery is automatic via discovery.kubernetes with standard annotations. No proprietary agents, sidecars, or binary instrumentation tools required.
