Pprof Example App Go
This example app serves as an example of how one can easily instrument HTTP handlers with Pprof profiles in Go. It uses the Go standard library.
It calculates fibonacci numbers starting at number 1 million to produce some CPU activity and allocates memory 1mb per second, it never frees this memory so be careful it may crash your system.
Run this example at your own risk Polar Signals is not responsible for damage this example may cause.
A Docker image is available at: quay.io/polarsignals/pprof-example-app-go:v0.1.0
Deploying in a Kubernetes cluster
