Beyond Metrics and Traces: Using Continuous Profiler for Low-level Optimization

Metrics and traces provide important context for understanding what an application is doing and finding areas for improvement. But sometimes there are lower-level issues that emerge from how code interacts with runtime environments, or crashes and constraints that result from problems with garbage collection and memory management. When standard observability practices don’t provide enough insight, how do you know where a problem is coming from and what to optimize?
