Developers interested in a tool to detect and analyze performance bottlenecks
About 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.

Scout Monitoring
Scout Monitoring is Application Performance Monitoring (APM) that finds what you can't see in charts.
Scout APM is application performance monitoring that streamlines troubleshooting by helping developers find and fix performance issues before customers ever see them. With real-time alerting, a developer-centric UI, and tracing logic that ties bottlenecks directly to source code, Scout APM helps you spend less time debugging and more time building a great product.
Quickly identify, prioritize, and resolve performance problems – memory bloat, N+1 queries, slow database queries, and more – with an agent that instruments the dependencies you need at a fraction of the overhead.
Scout APM is built for developers, by developers, and monitors Ruby, PHP, Python, Node.js, and Elixir applications.

dotMemory
dotMemory is a .NET memory profiler that can be launched right from Visual Studio, used as a plugin in JetBrains Rider, or used as a standalone tool. dotMemory lets you profile applications based on any supported version of .NET Framework, .NET Core, .NET, ASP.NET web applications, IIS, IIS Express, Windows services, Universal Windows Platform applications, and more. On macOS and Linux, dotMemory can be used only as part of JetBrains Rider or as a command-line profiler. dotMemory lets you import raw Windows memory dumps obtained using the task manager or process explorer, and analyze them as regular memory snapshots. By doing so, you can take advantage of automatic inspections, retention diagrams, and other sophisticated dotMemory features. Understanding of how memory is retained in your application is essential in order to successfully optimize it. In this view, the hierarchy of dominators (objects that exclusively retain other objects in memory) is shown on a sunburst chart.

Google Cloud Trace
Cloud Trace is a distributed tracing system that collects latency data from your applications and displays it in the Google Cloud Console. You can track how requests propagate through your application and receive detailed near real-time performance insights. Cloud Trace automatically analyzes all of your application's traces to generate in-depth latency reports to surface performance degradations, and can capture traces from all of your VMs, containers, or App Engine projects. Using Cloud Trace, you can inspect detailed latency information for a single request or view aggregate latency for your entire application. Using the various tools and filters provided, you can quickly find where bottlenecks are occurring and more quickly identify their root cause. Cloud Trace is based off of the tools used at Google to keep our services running at extreme scale.
