Your app feels slow. Instinct says:
- 👉 “It’s the DB.”
- 👉 “Add a cache.”
- 👉 “Maybe the network?”
Too often — wrong. The real culprit?
- 🌀 Goroutine leaks
- 📦 Naive string concatenation
- 🗄️ Unbounded caches
That’s where pprof steps in: CPU, memory, goroutines, blocking. No guesses — just facts.
In my latest post I show:
- How to enable profiling (services + CLI jobs)
- The 3 essential commands (top, list, web)
- Real-world examples with fixes: leaky tickers, string allocations, runaway cache
