I’m really, really liking this.

I’ve been testing the whole stack on a local server, finding kinks, documenting workflows, because I hope I move us to this soon. Now with Pyroscope I would love to try it out even more. I kid you not, we were just testing Datadog Continuous Profiling for our legacy Ruby application not two days ago and it was quite lackluster.

Not saying this will be better (have yet to try), but I’d prefer to support and report feedback back on this for a brighter future for our community.

Keep it up!

Ryan here from Pyroscope -- Awesome to hear you're interested in migrating over. Would love for you to try out our Ruby integration and let us know what you think: https://pyroscope.io/docs/ruby/.

We've added a lot of features like tags/labels, integration with tracing: https://github.com/pyroscope-io/otel-profiling-ruby, integration with CI/CD (in rails), etc.

Feedback very welcome!

Felix from Datadog here :). We'd love to hear your thoughts on our profiler if you're willing to share them. My e-mail is in my profile.

PS: Congrats to Ryan, Dmitry and team :).

Hey! It was alright, but at least for Ruby it didn’t report on the memory allocation of the calls, which is what we were looking for in the first place. We do not use it anywhere else, we only tried it for this pesky legacy system.
