What is the purpose of profiling in a Go application?

Profiling in a Go application serves the purpose of optimizing the application's performance. Profiling tools in Go, such as pprof, help you identify bottlenecks, memory leaks, and areas where your code can be optimized. By collecting and analyzing profiling data, you can make informed decisions to improve your code's efficiency and reduce resource usage. Profiling does not generate documentation, find syntax errors, or validate syntax; these tasks are typically performed by other tools and processes.
