Feature Availability
By default, Upsun offers 15 minutes of continuous profiling per project and for free. To get 30 days of continuous profiling per project and for a fixed fee, upgrade to the Continuous Profiling add-on.
Upsun Continuous Profiler dashboard allows comparing two timeframes to better understand application dynamics in various contexts.
You could compare two versions of the application, before and after a deployment, or rush hours with quiet times for instance.
Enabling comparison mode 
A toggle on the top right corner of the continuous profiling dashboard enables the comparison mode.
With comparisons enabled, you can select two timeframes referred to as A and
B. Those times can overlap.
Understanding continuous profiling visual comparison
The flamegraph provides a visual representation of how timeframe B compares
to A for the selected dimension using shades of colors. The stronger the
color, the higher resource variation.
Shades of green indicates timeframe B is consuming less resources than A
for the selected dimension. Shades of red indicate the opposite.
A scale and contextual information are displayed when hovering a span. This ensures accessibility for all users and allow colorblind users to benefit from this feature.
