The runtime/trace package in Go offers developers an effective way to analyze and troubleshoot their programs by providing detailed execution traces of goroutines. This functionality allows developers to uncover concurrency bottlenecks and other issues that may not be apparent through CPU profiling. However, previous challenges, such as high overhead, scalability problems, and limited usability, hindered effective trace analysis. The Go team has made significant improvements in recent releases, reducing overhead and enhancing trace analysis capabilities to facilitate better debugging and performance optimization.
The magic of a trace is that it can easily reveal things about a program that are hard to see in other ways.
Over the last two Go releases we've made big progress in all four of these areas, addressing issues such as high overhead, poor scalability, and unclear tracing usage.
