Instead, they used the Application Insights Profiler, which captures flame graphs of real production requests down to the method level. On Azure App Service, the profiler comes preinstalled — just enable it and it starts capturing. It also supports on-demand profiling sessions for active incident debugging. The post is part one of a series; subsequent parts cover enabling the profiler in containerized environments and reading flame graphs. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
