Start reporting memory usage for python in traces/profiles

sky-code commented 3 weeks ago

Problem Statement

Sentry provides good overview of time consumption in Trace View, for some projects/situations it very useful to have the same overview for memory usage.

For example in our use case we are doing files parsing and processing, they are very unpredictable in size/structure and may vary significantly, it is hard for us to identify what files and which one processing operation uses most memory and exact numbers.

Sentry reports memory usage for some platforms but does not for python, at the same time other observability tools support memory usage tracing, for example datadog and scout-apm but it's inconvenient to use couple APM tools for different types of metrics.

Solution Brainstorm

Make it as optional feature, capture process rss memory, show in profiler/trace view and add option in UI to switch between time and memory view. Something like that
