In this session, we embark on an intriguing journey into the world of performance profiling, where we encounter the best and worst of times in optimizing applications across diverse programming languages and platforms. Join us as we explore the power of flamegraphs and their role in understanding and improving application performance. This talk draws upon our experiences and efforts in integrating profiling into OpenTelemetry, highlighting the importance of observability in modern software development. With a focus on practical examples and real-world use cases, we will use the official OpenTelemetry demo application as a backdrop for our "Tales of Two Flamegraphs." By comparing and contrasting flamegraphs across different application stacks, we will uncover common performance pitfalls and demonstrate effective optimization techniques applicable to any language ecosystem.
