Grafana Austin: A Tale of Two Flamegraphs

We’re excited to host a Grafana Meetup in Austin featuring Jen Villa from Grafana Labs!

Jen will be presenting “A Tale of Two Flamegraphs: Unlocking Performance Insights in a Diverse Application Landscape,” a talk that explores how flamegraphs can unlock performance insights across diverse application ecosystems.

We’ll dive into the world of performance profiling, exploring the challenges and opportunities related to optimizing applications across diverse programming languages and platforms. We will also discover the power of flamegraphs in enhancing application performance analysis. This talk draws upon our experiences integrating profiling into OpenTelemetry, highlighting the importance of observability in modern software development. Using real-world examples and the official OpenTelemetry demo application, Jen will present “Tales of Two Flamegraphs,” revealing performance pitfalls and effective optimization methods across different language ecosystems.
