You, latency and profiling Filippo Valsorda — @FiloSottile
What is fast?
A fast hash… … can hash many MB per second
A fast regex… … can process many MB/s
A fast database… … can store many GB per second
A fast database… … can store many GB per second
… or replies to queries in a few milliseconds
A fast website… … can handle many requests at the
same time … or loads in a few milliseconds
A fast API… … can handle many clients at the
same time … or answers in a few milliseconds
Fast is… Throughput and Latency

Latency is not all about CPU
CPU profiling is for throughput The tracer is for latency

The tracer Detailed nanosecond-level log of execution events: • goroutine
scheduling, blocking • syscalls, network, I/O • garbage collection
The tracer • log files are BIG • 25% overhead
(after Go 1.7) • symbols are embedded (Go 1.7)
Trace vs. profile • Full event context • Goroutine metadata
and history • Discrete events, not samples
The tracer import "runtime/trace" import "net/http/pprof" /debug/pprof/trace?seconds=5
