How do I set up pprof in my Go application?

To set up pprof in your Go application, you need to import the net/http/pprof package and register the pprof handlers.

Can you show me a code snippet for that?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

import (
    "net/http"
    _ "net/http/pprof"
)

func main() {
    go func() {
        log.Println(http.ListenAndServe("localhost:6060", nil))
    }()
    // Your application code here
}

What port does pprof run on by default?

By default, pprof runs on port 6060, but you can change it by modifying the ListenAndServe function.

How can I visualize the profiling data?

You can visualize the profiling data by using the go tool pprof command in your terminal after generating a profile.
