Amazon CodeGuru Profiler vs Google Cloud Profiler
Both stand on profiling software. Which one you can start free with, which one lets you read the code, and what each costs once you pay.
Choose Amazon CodeGuru Profiler for supported Java, JVM, or Python applications when continuous profiling, flame graphs, and method recommendations fit the work. It also provides anomaly detection and optional Amazon SNS notifications. Look elsewhere if the application language or Python profiling scope does not fit, or if an AWS account is not suitable.
