Automated Performance Profiling for Go Services with Conan

Conan is an automated profiling solution for Go microservices that embeds an SDK to continuously or adaptively sample CPU, memory and goroutine metrics, detects anomalies via user‑defined rules, uploads data to a Pyroscope server, and reports results through Feishu or Pyroscope, delivering sub‑5 % overhead and faster root‑cause analysis.

Troubleshooting Golang GC Performance Issues Causing Request Timeout Spikes

The article details how a Go service’s default GOGC setting caused overly frequent garbage‑collection pauses that spiked request timeouts, and how adjusting GOGC dynamically with debug.SetGCPercent and setting memory limits reduced GC CPU usage, extended pause intervals, and eliminated timeout spikes.

Investigation and Resolution of CPU Spike in a Kafka-Go Consumer Using pprof

Using Go’s pprof, the team traced a gradual CPU spike in a high‑throughput kafka‑go consumer to a saturated commit queue and repeatedly nested context values, which forced costly lookups; eliminating the unnecessary trace‑id context injection (or recreating a fresh context each loop) resolved the issue and reduced CPU usage to under 2 %.

Diagnosing and Resolving Go Memory Leak with pprof and Prometheus

The article explains how a sudden Go service memory‑usage alert was traced with go tool pprof to a massive allocation in the quantile.newStream function, uncovered a Prometheus metric‑label explosion caused by the START_POINT label, and resolved the leak by disabling that label, while also reviewing typical Go memory‑leak patterns.
