eflame
A Flame Graph profiler for Erlang that uses the erlang:trace/3 API to visualize call stacks.
What is eflame?
eflame is a profiling tool for Erlang that generates Flame Graphs, which are visual representations of call stack data to help identify performance bottlenecks. It leverages Erlang's built-in tracing capabilities to capture stack samples and produces interactive SVG graphs for analysis.
Erlang developers and performance engineers who need to analyze and optimize the performance of their Erlang applications, particularly those dealing with complex concurrency or suspected blocking calls.
Developers choose eflame because it provides straightforward, non-intrusive profiling using Erlang's standard tracing API, requires no code modifications, and offers clear visualizations that highlight blocking calls and process-specific behavior.
