Hawk: Debug & Profile

A lightweight debugging & profiling toolkit
for production 🐍 Python microservices

🦅 Hawk gives you more control over how your Python microservices run in production with little overhead by bringing a set of internal API to help you to profile and debug your services.

[!NOTE]

🚧 This project is under active development and not ready for production use yet. 🚧

Hawk is inspired by Go's net/http/pprof & expvars packages and OpenTelemetry Collector's ZPages which are in turn stemmed from Google's internal practices around debugging production services.

[!IMPORTANT]
