April 1st: Hold your turing awards, check the release date, and then enjoy this project for what it is : ).

sprof is the next revolution in Go profiling. Instead of precariously measuring the execution of your program during runtime, sprof can find performance bottlenecks using only static analysis. Say good bye to irreproducible performance issues and high overhead profiling in production and welcome your new performance overlord, sprof.

Installing sprof is easy, just run:

go get -u github.com/felixge/sprof

Then go the directory of your Go program and run it:

sprof github.com/felixge/sprof/examples/main pprof.pb.gz
go tool pprof -http=:6060 pprof.pb.gz

And voila, your profile shows up:

Of course sprof also works with more complex Go projects such as hugo:

sprof is the result of months of research and engineering and was first released on 2021-04-01.

Credit goes to github.com/ofabry/go-callvis for providing the foundation for sprof.
