Kloudfuse Continuous Profiling
What Kloudfuse Continuous Profiling is
Kloudfuse Continuous Profiling is a production profiling service for engineering and on-call teams. It continuously gathers CPU, memory, contention, block, goroutine, wall-clock, and disk I/O profiles and stores them with other telemetry in a Kloudfuse data lake. Interactive flame graphs let users inspect activity to function and line level. Grafana Alloy pulls standard pprof endpoints through the Pyroscope protocol, without proprietary agents or sidecars. In Kubernetes, Alloy can discover services from pod annotations and profile newly ready pods. Go and Java have first-class support; Pyroscope SDK-instrumented Python, Ruby, Node.js, .NET, and Rust applications are also compatible. The Kloudfuse MCP Server accepts natural-language profiling queries, while K-Lens ranks attributes linked to anomalies to suggest root-cause hypotheses. Profiles use Apache Parquet, with retention on a configurable local PVC or longer-term S3/GCS storage. Deployment can be self-operated, co-managed, or fully managed in the customer’s VPC.
Who it suits
It suits engineering and on-call teams that need continuous production profiling alongside telemetry. It also fits organizations using Kubernetes, supported languages, and customer-managed cloud environments.
What it does well
- Interactive flame graphs reach function and line level
- Profiles CPU, memory, contention, and disk I/O
- Kubernetes services can be discovered through pod annotations
- Natural-language profiling queries via Kloudfuse MCP Server
- Supports S3/GCS for longer-term retention
What to know first
- Pricing requires a quote
- Local PVC retention defaults to 50 GB
- Some languages require Pyroscope SDK instrumentation
Limits
The local PVC defaults to 50 GB; longer-term storage can use S3 or GCS. The pricing page lists telemetry tiers through 30–50 TB/day, with exact platform pricing available by quote.

Getting started
- Open the Continuous Profiling page and request pricing for the platform's telemetry-volume tier.
- Use the live observability playground with a work email; it requires no install or credit card.
- Deploy the self-hosted product and choose self-operated, co-managed, or fully managed operation.
- Configure Grafana Alloy to pull from standard pprof endpoints using the Pyroscope protocol.
- Set profile retention on the local PVC or use S3 or GCS for longer-term storage.
Verdict
Kloudfuse Continuous Profiling combines broad profile collection with telemetry storage, interactive analysis, and Kubernetes discovery. Its self-hosted deployment options and configurable retention suit teams with specific infrastructure and compliance requirements.
Questions
How is Kloudfuse Continuous Profiling priced?
Pricing is quoted by telemetry-volume tier; exact platform pricing requires a quote.
Is there a trial?
A live observability playground is available with a work email. It requires no installation or credit card.
Which profile types does it collect?
It captures CPU, memory allocation, mutex contention, block, goroutine, wall-clock, and disk I/O profiles.
Which languages are compatible?
Go and Java have first-class support. Python, Ruby, Node.js, .NET, and Rust applications are compatible when instrumented with the Pyroscope SDK.
How does collection work?
Grafana Alloy pulls from standard pprof endpoints using the Pyroscope protocol. In Kubernetes, it can discover services through pod annotations and profile newly ready pods automatically.
Where are profiles retained?
Profiles use Apache Parquet and can be retained on a local PVC, which defaults to 50 GB, or in S3 or GCS for longer-term storage.
