Parca - Open Source infrastructure-wide continuous profiling
Broken down 
by method name, class name, and line number. Without complex overhead, in any language or framework.
Thanks to eBPF's nature, Parca Agent operates in Linux kernel space allowing it to grab exactly the data needed at low overhead.

Never miss the important data with a continuous profiling.
You never know at which point in time you are going to need profiling data, so always collect it at low overhead.
Build faster and more reliable apps with Parca
Reduce cost
Many organizations have 20-30% of resources wasted in easily optimized code paths. The Parca Agent aims to lower the bar of starting to profile by requiring zero-instrumentation for the whole infrastructure. Deploy in your infrastructure and get started!
Improve Performance
Using profiling data collected over time, Parca can (with confidence and statistical significance) determine hot paths to optimize. Additionally, it can show differences between any query, such as comparing versions of software or any other dimension.
Fast debugging
Profiling data provides unique insight and depth into what code a process executed over time. Situations, traditionally difficult to troubleshoot, memory leaks, but also momentary spikes in CPU or I/O causing unexpected behavior can be easily understood with continuous profiling.
Catch regressions
The latest deploy of your application has a performance regression? Understand with a single query where CPU time is spent differently now.
