pprof is a profiling visualization and analysis tool that ingests profiles in the profile.proto format and generates human-readable and graph-based reports. It supports multiple profile types (CPU, heap, allocations, contention, etc.) and can present data as text tables, call graphs (via Graphviz/dot), flame graphs, and interactive web UIs. The tool helps developers find hot paths, quantify resource usage, and compare profiles across runs to validate performance changes. It is widely used in Go but also has bindings and exporters for other ecosystems, and the repository includes a Go package for reading and writing profiles programmatically. ...

While inspired by flame graphs, flame charts put the passage of time on the x-axis instead of the alphabet.
