performance-profiler

Investigate slow Node.js, Python, and Go applications by measuring CPU use, memory, database queries, and data transfer. Identify bottlenecks, inspect frontend bundle sizes, run load tests, and compare measurements before and after changes to verify improvements.

OriginalShow the original description

Systematic performance profiling for Node.js, Python, and Go applications. Identifies CPU, memory, and I/O bottlenecks, generates flamegraphs, analyzes bundle sizes, optimizes database queries, runs load tests with k6 and Artillery. Always measures before and after. Use when investigating a slow endpoint, planning a performance budget, or hunting a memory leak in production.

See how to install

Good for

  • Investigating slow API responses
  • Tracking memory growth and suspected leaks
  • Analyzing bundle growth after adding dependencies
  • Testing capacity before a traffic spike

Performance Profiler

Tier: POWERFUL
Category: Engineering
Domain: Performance Engineering


Overview

Systematic performance profiling for Node.js, Python, and Go applications. Identifies CPU, memory, and I/O bottlenecks; generates flamegraphs; analyzes bundle sizes; optimizes database queries; detects memory leaks; and runs load tests with k6 and Artillery. Always measures before and after.

Core Capabilities

  • CPU profiling — flamegraphs for Node.js, py-spy for Python, pprof for Go
  • Memory profiling — heap snapshots, leak detection, GC pressure
  • Bundle analysis — webpack-bundle-analyzer, Next.js bundle analyzer
  • Database optimization — EXPLAIN ANALYZE, slow query log, N+1 detection
  • Load testing — k6 scripts, Artillery scenarios, ramp-up patterns
  • Before/after measurement — establish baseline, profile, optimize, verify

When to Use

  • App is slow and you don't know where the bottleneck is
  • P99 latency exceeds SLA before a release
  • Memory usage grows over time (suspected leak)
  • Bundle size increased after adding dependencies
  • Preparing for a traffic spike (load test before launch)
  • Database queries taking >100ms

Quick Start

# Analyze a project for performance risk indicators
python3 scripts/performance_profiler.py /path/to/project

# JSON output for CI integration
python3 scripts/performance_profiler.py /path/to/project --json

# Custom large-file threshold
python3 scripts/performance_profiler.py /path/to/project --large-file-threshold-kb 256

Golden Rule: Measure First

# Establish baseline BEFORE any optimization
# Record: P50, P95, P99 latency | RPS | error rate | memory usage

# Wrong: "I think the N+1 query is slow, let me fix it"
# Right: Profile → confirm bottleneck → fix → measure again → verify improvement
