Hi,

first off: *Don't get me wrong I like the fact, that there are companys out 
ther supporting nodejs with *
*extra services and "consulting". *I would however prefer to be the master 
over my data and learn from it
myself without a frontend that takes away most of the insights they 
(probably) learned the hard way.

So, my question is this: What do you currently prefer to monitor your 
applications and profile their performance?

As far as I've seen there is only a limited amount of still viable 
solutions. I'm about to checkout tracegl. But I feel 
that it would be lacking any helpfull understanding as seeing that the 
project itself - in full Mozilla Fashion (see 
i18n-abide for another example) -  is barely documented and seems to 
support a limited amount of platforms
currently(Mostly those that support WebGL and have it enabled, which is not 
the case for me most of the time).

Other Solutions (ie. node-profiler ) have been gutted to an extend as their 
upstream dependency (v8) has 
removed most of the functionality they so heavily depend on. 

Another pain point as I see it in profiling my nodecode is, that I don't 
run on illu(o)mos which also makes 
30% - 40% of the documentation in the Joyent ("patron" of nodejs) best 
practices for debugging/optimizing
profiling worthless to me. 

Is there something I'm missing at this point? I would LOVE to understand 
where my code may go wrong or
where it is excessively brittle performance-wise, but at this stage it is 
very hard for me to see much in the 
way of a proper toolchain here. 

Have there been any noteworthy projects around Node performance that I have 
simply been missing? 
Is it worth reading the Node C/C++ code to get a full grasp of how it 
works? Is it simply an issue of p
promotion in the sense that not all parts of the community have embraced it?

I am happy for any and every suggestions you may write underneath this. 
Feel free also to lambast me on my 
maybe ignorant views towards services like nodetime and StrongLoop.

Thanks in advance, 

Andreas Marschke,
