flamegraph

Flame graphs are a visualization tool for profiling software, and they effectively allow developers to understand which parts of their script or program are consuming the most CPU time. This visual representation can be crucial for optimizing and debugging performance issues in scripts and applications. In Linux-based systems, leveraging Bash shell scripts with profiling tools can help create these informative flame graphs. Let’s dive deeper into how to generate a flame graph for a shell script’s CPU usage with a simple question and answer format.
