Curious whether the biggest value has been performance debugging itself or helping developers understand system behavior they otherwise wouldn't have visibility into.
Sometimes the observability layer ends up being more valuable than the optimization layer.
Honest question, I feel like kernels are usually short enough that you can fully understand their performance in the development cycle before you even deploy them. If you get different results in production this seems to me that you didn’t spend enough time understanding what’s going on earlier. Are there things you genuinely can’t get from this workflow?
