- We need visual programming. No, not like that
We need to see the code paths that were executed for a certain request/feature/transaction.
I created Call Stacking for this visualization.

- RoR Debugbar
Very cool project. Similar to the Ruby on Rails debugger that I wrote, which allows you to see all of the methods that are called for a given request (and param values, return values, etc).

- For RoR, see in production every method call, parameter and return value
If someone is up for writing a Call Stacking client for the language platform of their choice, please email me.
This would be your reference implementation.

I'm sure we could work out an arrangement.

Use PgHero or Rails Mini Profiler for real-time SQL analysis
- [Rails] How We Reduced API Response Rendering Time by 30%
I used the rack-mini-profiler gem to measure performance in our development environment. I prepared hundreds of thousands of data entries in the development environment and gathered samples from 10 requests.
- RoR Debugbar
Author of peek here. Honestly, I got burnt out. We stopped using this internally at GitHub which made it difficult to continue working on. Rails was going through its identity crisis with asset pipelines.
https://github.com/MiniProfiler/rack-mini-profiler gets you most of the way there and comes by default in the Gemfile for new Rails applications.
- For RoR, see in production every method call, parameter and return value

Have you tried using https://github.com/MiniProfiler/rack-mini-profiler to get a clear breakdown of where your server is spending it's time filling the requests? If rack-mini-profiler is too much for you to deal with right now, you can still get a good idea just using the https://github.com/ruby/benchmark gem and wrapping some of your requests in a benchmark.
