The Free and Open source Software Developers’ European Meeting (FOSDEM) 2023<\/a> took place on the 4th and 5th of February. This was the first in-person FOSDEM since 2020, and for this reason, coming back to the good ol\u2019 ULB building felt very special. The event was just like we left it in 2020: lots of people, queues in front of the most popular rooms, queues for the food trucks, mud, booths, many many developer rooms and talks to see, and this was just like a reunion between old friends.<\/p>\n

As the Profiler team is very distributed, just like the rest of Mozilla, it\u2019s been also great seeing each other again, living this event together, and strengthening our relationships around some carbonade flamande, meatballs, waffles, and (edible) mushrooms.<\/p>\n

The Firefox Profiler<\/a> was very much represented there, with no less than 5 talks in 3 different rooms!<\/p>\n

Here is a quick overview of these talks as well as links to the slides and videos.<\/p>\n

Using the Firefox Profiler for web performance analysis, by Julien Wajsberg<\/h2>\n

The talk<\/a> took place in the JavaScript room<\/a>, at the very last slot on Sunday.<\/p>\n

This was mostly an introduction talk about the Firefox Profiler. Julien talked about what a profiler is, described how to capture a profile, and showed how to navigate in the Firefox Profiler UI like a pro. He explained that measuring is always better than guessing in the performance world.<\/p>\n

Power Profiling with the Firefox Profiler, by Florian Qu\u00e8ze<\/h2>\n

This talk<\/a> took place in the Energy room<\/a>, on Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n

Firefox Profiler beyond the web, by Johannes Bechberger<\/h2>\n

This talk<\/a> happened in the Mozilla room<\/a>, on Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n

In this talk, our contributor Johannes shared how he came to contribute to the Firefox Profiler for his own use case: implementing a full-featured profiler for Java programs, based on Java Flight Recorder (JFR), and integrating it fully in IntelliJ IDEA.<\/p>\n

You can watch the video below:<\/p>\n

Johannes also shared his work extensively in two<\/a> posts<\/a> on his blog where you can read more.<\/p>\n
