The <a href="https://www.datadoghq.com/blog/continuous-profiling-fourth-pillar/">Continuous Profiler</a> team at Datadog is building a cutting-edge continuous profiling product that has low enough overhead to run continuously in production, unlocking insights into how customer applications perform under real workloads at scale.
