Tufte

Simple performance monitoring for Clojure/Script applications

Tufte allows you to easily monitor the ongoing performance of your Clojure and ClojureScript applications in production and other environments.

It provides sensible application-level metrics, and gives them to you as Clojure data that can be easily analyzed programatically.

Carte Figurative, one of Edward Tufte's favourite data visualizations.

Latest release/s

• 2023-09-27 2.6.3: changes

See here for earlier releases.

Why Tufte?

• Small, fast, cross-platform Clojure/Script codebase
• Sensible application-level metrics without the obscure JVM-level noise
• Metrics as Clojure maps: easily aggregate, analyse, log, serialize to db, etc.
• Tiny, flexible API: p, profiled, profile
• Great compile-time elision and runtime filtering support
• Arbitrary Clojure/Script form-level profiling
• Full support for thread-local and multi-threaded profiling

10-second example

(require '[taoensso.tufte :as tufte :refer [defnp p profiled profile]])

;; Request to send `profile` stats to `println`:
(tufte/add-basic-println-handler! {})

;;; Define a couple dummy fns to simulate doing some expensive work
(defn get-x [] (Thread/sleep 500)             "x val")
(defn get-y [] (Thread/sleep (rand-int 1000)) "y val")

;; Let's check how these fns perform:

(profile ; Profile any `p` forms called during body execution
  {} ; Profiling options; we'll use the defaults for now
  (dotimes [_ 5]
    (p :get-x (get-x))
    (p :get-y (get-y))))

;; The following will be printed to *out*:
