💻 Tech

If you just use pprof like below, it only shows you live memory at the time of snapshot. It’s using inuse_space by default. But how about if you wan to use all the memory allocated over time even those that are freed? Use alloc_space.

Default inuses_space

go tool pprof -http=:8081 mem.prof

Using alloc_space

go tool pprof --alloc_space -http=:8081 mem.prof
