One year after switching from Java to Go

We run mostly Java apps with a few Go apps. What I miss with Go, maybe just because I'm not as familiar and don't know where to look, is all the runtime analysis that's built in. Thread dumps, heap dumps, and even flight recorder profiling is all built in to the JVM so it works with all apps everywhere. When a Go app suddenly slows down it's very difficult to determine why unless the app was coded to provide the right metrics.

I actually much prefer go ‘s runtime tooling. Pprof has everything I need built in; heap, cpu, blocking, mutex contention. And don’t need additional tools to visualize the collected data. https://pkg.go.dev/net/http/pprof@go1.24.0
