What is next for the profilers?

time to read 1 min | 184 words

We have been working on the profilers (NHibernate Profiler, Entity Framework Profiler, Linq to SQL Profiler, LLBLGen Profiler and Hibernate Profiler) for close to three years now. And we have been running always as 1.x, so we didn’t have a major release (although we have continual releases, we currently have close to 900 drops of the 1.x version).

The question now becomes, what is going to happen in the next version of the profiler?

  • Production Profiling, the ability to setup your application so that you can connect to your production application and see what is going on right now.
  • Error Analysis, the ability to provide you with additional insight and common solution to recurring problems.
  • Global Query Analysis, the ability to take all of your queries, look at their query plans and show your potential issues.

Those are the big ones, we have a few others, and a surprise in store Smile
