About Grafana Pyroscope
Grafana Pyroscope stores and queries continuous profiling data so you can see how applications use resources, down to the line number. It is built for scale, with high availability, multi-tenancy and durable storage.
The project came from the merger of Phlare, launched by Grafana Labs in 2022, and Pyroscope, founded by Ryan Perry and Dmitry Filimonov in 2021. It reached version 1.0 in 2023. You run it yourself, or use Grafana Cloud Profiles, the hosted version.
