nethttppprof

nethttppprof is a Go package that provides an easy way to integrate the pprof profiling tool into HTTP servers. pprof is a standard Go package for analyzing Go program performance, allowing developers to collect and visualize runtime statistics such as CPU usage, memory allocation, and goroutine activity. nethttppprof simplifies the process of exposing these profiling endpoints through an HTTP server.

The package offers a middleware function that can be easily added to existing HTTP routers or servers. When this middleware is enabled, it automatically registers the pprof endpoints (e.g., /debug/pprof/, /debug/pprof/heap, /debug/pprof/profile) with the HTTP server. This means developers can access detailed performance information by simply navigating to these URLs in their web browser or using profiling tools.

Using nethttppprof requires minimal code changes. Typically, it involves importing the package and wrapping the server's handler with the provided middleware. This approach is particularly useful for long-running services where performance monitoring is crucial for identifying and resolving bottlenecks. The package is designed to be unobtrusive, with profiling endpoints only active when explicitly requested, thus minimizing any impact on production server performance. It supports various profiling types available in the standard pprof package.
