#Uber has an AI pipeline to find performance optimizations in their #Golang code. They use profiling to id hot paths then run a two phase LLM stack to optimize and validate fixes. Some impressive stats on time and developer effort saved. www.uber.com/blog/perfins...
PerfInsights: Detecting Performance Optimization Opportunities in Go Code using Generative AI
At Uber, back-end service efficiency directly influences operational costs and user experience. In March 2024 alone, the top 10 Go services accounted for more than multi-million dollars in compute spend alone —an unsustainable amount that underscored the need for systematic performance tuning. Traditionally, optimizing Go services has required deep expertise and significant manual effort. Profiling, benchmarking, and analyzing code could take days or even weeks. Performance tuning is prohibitively expensive and non-trivial for most teams. PerfInsights was born as an Uber Hackdayz 2024 finalist and has since evolved into a production-ready system that automatically detects performance antipatterns in Go services. It uses runtime CPU and memory profiles with GenAI-powered static analysis to pinpoint expensive hotpath functions and recommend optimizations.
