Coroot vs Sentry Continuous Profiling

Coroot is an open-source observability platform that uses eBPF to collect metrics, logs, traces, and profiling data without code changes. It maps services and dependencies, and pairs eBPF auto-instrumentation with OpenTelemetry SDK traces for end-to-end request tracking. Continuous profiling can locate CPU spikes down to the line of code. Coroot tracks cloud costs without access to cloud accounts and detects risks such as single-instance applications, unreplicated databases, poor replica placement, and publicly exposed services. Its AI root cause analysis correlates metrics, logs, traces, events, and profiles to identify likely incident causes, with evidence and suggested fixes. Notifications can be sent through Slack, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty, Opsgenie, and webhooks. Coroot supports Kubernetes, OpenShift, Docker, Docker Swarm, several listed Linux distributions, and Windows agents. Linux use requires kernel version 5.1 or later. The platform is self-hosted, keeping data within the customer's infrastructure. Community Edition is Apache 2.0 licensed and can run on premises or in a customer's cloud. The free Community Edition includes core features. Standard support is by email, chat, or ticket during business hours, while Premium includes 24×7 and phone support.

Sentry Continuous Profiling helps teams locate backend performance bottlenecks in Node.js and Python code, down to functions and lines. Continuous profiles can run for unlimited durations. An Aggregate Flamegraph summarizes project performance without requiring a single transaction as its scope. Developers can control profiling manually with SDK APIs or configure it to follow a trace lifecycle, starting when a root span is active. UI Profiling covers iOS, macOS and Android, with browser JavaScript and Electron also listed. Sentry says profiling requires performance monitoring to be enabled in the app, and availability for continuous profiling depends on the SDK. Continuous and UI Profiling use separate profile-hour billing measures and are available through pay-as-you-go usage. Sentry lists a free plan and paid pricing from $26/mo. Its integrations include GitHub, Jira, Slack, GitLab, Linear, Microsoft Teams and PagerDuty. Sentry says its service is hosted on Google Cloud Platform and has SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001 certification and a HIPAA attestation.
