eper
A collection of Erlang performance monitoring and debugging tools, including process/network visualization and safe tracing.
What is eper?
eper is a collection of Erlang performance and debugging tools that help developers monitor and analyze Erlang/OTP systems. It includes utilities for visualizing processes, network traffic, memory allocators, and safe tracing of live systems. The project addresses the need for practical, real-time observability in Erlang applications.
Erlang/OTP developers and system administrators who need to monitor, profile, and debug production or development Erlang systems. It's particularly useful for those working on performance optimization or troubleshooting distributed applications.
Developers choose eper for its focused, standalone tools that are simpler and safer to use than some built-in OTP alternatives. The redbug tool, in particular, offers a more user-friendly and controlled tracing experience compared to OTP's dbg.
