Yandex has made “Perforator” publicly available—an advanced tool designed for real-time monitoring and in-depth analysis of servers and applications.
This tool helps developers identify code sections that consume the most resources and provides detailed statistics for optimization. By detecting performance bottlenecks and enabling efficient profiling, “Perforator” allows companies to reduce infrastructure costs by up to 20%. For large enterprises, this can result in annual savings of millions of dollars.
Optimizing computing resources is crucial for both large data centers and small businesses or startups aiming to minimize expenses. Instead of investing in additional hardware, companies can use “Perforator” to make better use of their existing infrastructure without compromising performance. This tool has already been successfully used in Yandex services for over a year and is now available to developers and IT companies worldwide.
A key advantage of “Perforator” is its ability to be deployed on a company’s own servers, reducing reliance on third-party cloud providers and ensuring full data privacy. This is especially important for organizations with strict security requirements operating within closed IT infrastructures.
The tool collects detailed data on server resource usage and analyzes the impact of code on performance, helping to identify the most resource-intensive processes. “Perforator” supports profiling for programming languages such as C, C++, Go, Rust, Python, and Java. Built-in visualization tools, including Flame Graphs, provide deeper insights into system inefficiencies and simplify diagnostics.
