In Go, creating goroutines is straightforward, but improper usage may result in a large number of goroutines unable to terminate, leading to resource leakage and memory leaks over time. The key to avoiding goroutine leaks is to manage the lifecycle of goroutines properly. By exporting runtime metrics and utilizing pprof, one can detect and resolve goroutine leakage issues.This post will go through one real case encountered by the author. The author maintains a service that connects to a target machine via SSH and executes commands. This is an internal service that is usually not closely monito...

gRPC is a RPC framework based on HTTP and is frequently used for communications among micro service inside the same organization network. However,  the service functions cannot be accessed via normal HTTP URL as it's not a WEB framework. In this case, how to do pprof on a gRPC service?The trick is starting a HTTP server asynchronously while starting the gRPC service. This HTTP server can be accessed to run prrof debug.go func(){ http.ListenAndServe(":10001", nil)}()Since it uses the default ServerMux, the pprof related routes will be registered automatically after importing the package&nb...
