I recommand https://grafana.com/oss/pyroscope/ for continous profiling, I use it in Go and it works well.

They have support for many languages https://grafana.com/docs/pyroscope/latest/configure-client/l... ( also based on eBPF ).

Good to know there's an OSS alternative.

Strobelight is open source as well.

The Otel profiling agent (formerly prodfiler, then Elastic profiler) is the underlying OSS.

And open sourcing: https://github.com/facebookincubator/strobelight

C++ from Meta/FB is much more pleasant to read than ones from ... other older big techs. I appreciate that.

I only see around three .cpp files in the entire project?

Look at other FB projects.
