8proper tutorial regarding this. Almost all of them are missing some part of
9important information and it gets pretty frustrating when you have a deadline
10and are not finding simple distilled solution.<p>Nevertheless, after searching and experimenting I have found a solution that
11works for me and probably should also for you.<h2 id=where-are-my-pprof-files>Where are my pprof files?</h2><p>By default pprof files are generated in /tmp/ folder. You can override folder
12where this files are generated programmatically in your golang code as we will
13see below in example.<h2 id=why-is-my-cpu-profile-empty>Why is my CPU profile empty?</h2><p>I have found out that sometimes CPU profile is empty because program was not
14executing long enough. Programs, that execute too quickly don’t produce pprof
15file in my cases. Well, file is generated but only contains 4KB of information.<h2 id=profiling>Profiling</h2><p>As you can see from examples we are executing dummy_benchmark functions to
16ensure some sort of execution. Memory profiling can be done without such a
17“complex” function. But CPU profiling needs it.<p>Both memory and CPU profiling examples are almost the same. Only parameters in
18main function when calling profile.Start are different. When we set
19profile.ProfilePath(“.”) we tell profiler to store pprof files in the same
20folder as our program.<h3 id=memory-profiling>Memory profiling</h3><pre tabindex=0 style=background-color:#fff><code><span style=display:flex><span><span style=color:#00f>package</span> main
