Analyze Ruby code performance with Datadog Continuous Profiler

What's this blog post about?

Ruby is an object-oriented programming language known for its simple syntax. It powers Ruby on Rails, the open source web development framework that streamlines common tasks in building web applications. Datadog's Continuous Profiler, which provides low-overhead, code-level performance insights, is now generally available for Ruby applications. The profiler helps developers identify resource bottlenecks and optimize their codebase by visualizing stack traces in a flame graph format. It also integrates with Datadog APM to correlate profiles and distributed traces, allowing users to investigate potential bottlenecks within their application. Additionally, Continuous Profiler can compare profiles from different versions of the application or environments to verify performance improvements. The profiler is now available for Ruby, Java, Python, and Go, with support for other languages on the way.
