ClassProfiler

Simple performance analyzer for Ruby classes. Just include it in the bottom of your class and let it analyze your Ruby class performance. Motivation and detailed explanation can be found in this blog post.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'class_profiler'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install class_profiler

It can be used only for classes. You need to include it in the bottom of your class:

class Foobar
  #includes/extend definitions

  #methods
  def hard_working_method
  end
  #more methods

  include ClassProfiler #include it just before closing the class
end

Or if you want something more configurable, to measure only specific methods and/or modules you can use this little API:

include ClassProfiler.for(instance_methods: [
  :on_correct_scale, :on_correct_currency, :as_financial_value
], modules: [Financial, Company])

It comes with a built-in rack middleware to report you the whole request-response cycle (but you still have to include ClassProfiler in the classes of your interest)

config.middleware.use ClassProfiler::Rack

If you want something more specific, then you only need to wrap the code of your interest under start block:

ClassProfiler::Benchmark.instance.start 'MY LABEL' do
  #code I want to benchmark
end

Note that ClassProfiler::Benchmark class is a singleton.

You can find details on the motivation and implementation in this blog post.
