dotTrace
dotTrace is a performance profiler for .NET applications that works right in Visual Studio/JetBrains Rider and provides great ways to detect and analyze performance bottlenecks. dotTrace helps you locate performance bottlenecks in a variety of .NET applications, including desktop applications, .NET Core, ASP.NET applications hosted on IIS or IIS Express web servers, Mono and Unity applications, WCF services, Windows services, Universal Windows Platform applications, and unit tests. Unlike "classic" performance profiling which only lets you measure method call execution time, timeline profiling reveals how calls are distributed in time. It allows for diagnosing performance issues where the order of events matters, such as UI freezes, excessive garbage collection, uneven workload distribution, inefficient file I/O, and more. You can slice and dice profiling data using filters, the call tree, or diagrams.

RAMMap
Have you ever wondered exactly how Windows is assigning physical memory, how much file data is cached in RAM, or how much RAM is used by the kernel and device drivers? RAMMap makes answering those questions easy. RAMMap is an advanced physical memory usage analysis utility for Windows Vista and higher. Use RAMMap to gain understanding of the way Windows manages memory, to analyze application memory usage, or to answer specific questions about how RAM is being allocated. RAMMap’s refresh feature enables you to update the display and it includes support for saving and loading memory snapshots. For definitions of the labels RAMMap uses as well as to learn about the physical-memory allocation algorithms used by the Windows memory manager.
