What tools do you recommend to profile Rails apps? [closed]
I've been looking for profiling tools for Rails for a while. I'm currently playing and testing ruby-prof and railsbench, but I kinda frustrated with the amount of tweaking and mangling required to make then work.
Althought I don't mind (much) the tweaking, I'd like to know if is there any other, more straight-forward and easy to use, tools to profile a Rails app? Which tools you recommend?
You can use the built in profiler as well:
$ ruby script/performance/profiler 'User.new' 5
% cumulative self self total
time seconds seconds calls ms/call ms/call name
189.25 1.76 1.76 1 1760.00 1760.00 Profiler__.start_profile
43.01 2.16 0.40 115 3.48 3.91 ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::Column#simplified_type
8.60 2.24 0.08 15 5.33 8.67 Array#each
7.53 2.31 0.07 115 0.61 5.39 ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::Column#initialize
6.45 2.37 0.06 115 0.52 0.52 ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::Column#type_cast
5.38 2.42 0.05 690 0.07 0.07 Regexp#===
0.00 2.69 0.00 10 0.00 0.00 Process.times
0.00 2.69 0.00 10 0.00 0.00 Benchmark.times
Note that for Rails 3, you can use rails profiler
.
New Relic offers Rails profiling including a free 'Lite' version.
