Platformatic announces heap profiling support in @platformatic/flame and Watt runtime, enabling developers to analyze memory usage alongside CPU profiling. The tool captures allocation patterns, identifies memory leaks, and generates interactive flamegraphs automatically. It works with zero configuration, outputs pprof-compatible files, and supports both auto-start and manual profiling modes. Developers can profile standalone Node.js applications or production services running in Watt with minimal overhead (5-10%). The implementation uses @datadog/pprof for sampling-based profiling and provides concurrent CPU and heap profiling for comprehensive performance analysis.
