The problem with profiling that way is that you never catch the moment in time where for example an incident happened. Continuous profiling is the systematic capturing of profiling at all times, Google has been doing it for over a decade, but it comes both with challenges of how to capture the data at low overhead and also storing and querying the enormous amount of data that continuous...
