From the README
We are thrilled to announce the launch of the Explore Profiles UI, a brand-new way to explore and analyze your profiling data—now available as part of the Grafana Explore Apps suite! This new app brings you a queryless, intuitive experience for visualizing your profiling data, simplifying the entire process without the need to write complex queries.
Grafana Pyroscope is a continuous profiling platform designed to surface performance insights from your applications, helping you optimize resource usage such as CPU, memory, and I/O operations. With Pyroscope, you can both proactively and reactively address performance bottlenecks across your system.
Pyroscope provides powerful tools to give you a comprehensive view of your application's behavior while allowing you to drill down into specific services for more targeted root cause analysis.
