About:
Snakeviz is a browser-based visualizer for Python profiling data. It renders the output from Python's cProfile module as interactive sunburst, icicle, or d3-based flame graphs. This visual representation helps developers quickly identify performance bottlenecks and understand the call stack hierarchy within their code.
Key Features:
  • Interactive sunburst and icicle charts
  • Browser-based interface (no terminal required)
  • Supports standard cProfile output files
  • D3.js powered visualizations
Use Cases:
  • Analyzing performance bottlenecks in Python scripts
  • Visualizing function call relationships and execution time
Alternatives:
  • cProfile – Built-in Python module providing raw text output, whereas Snakeviz offers visual interactivity.
  • py-spy – Sampling profiler useful for live processes, while Snakeviz analyzes saved profile runs.
