How does this compare with Flight Recorder? As of Java 11, Flight Recorder and its analysis tools (JDK Mission Control, formerly Java Mission Control) are free and open source:<p><a href="https://github.com/openjdk/jmc" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/openjdk/jmc</a><p>I have found Flight Recorder light weight enough to have it always enabled on production services. I didn't start using it until last year because it was a commercial feature on older Java releases.<p>EDIT: another comment says that this is based on Flight Recorder. The value add proposition is around the interface rather than the instrumentation, then. I think there <i>is</i> an opportunity there. JMC is fairly heavyweight and doesn't have good visualization/exploration tools for everything.
