At Agoda, our content-api service powers every hotel search, delivering images, reviews, policies, and more to users in real time. We rely on profiling tools like Pyroscope to monitor application performance to keep this service reliable. But what happens when the profiler introduces the problem? In our latest blog, Sandeep Kumar, Staff Software Engineer at Agoda, shares how we uncovered a memory leak caused by orphaned daemon threads in Pyroscope and how we helped fix it at the source.

💡 Great insight !
Please don't apply here. Their interview process is the single biggest waste of time I have endured in all my years in software development.
The issue that I have experienced was: Agoda Booking ID 1892735405, My flight booked from via agoda from Islamabad to London and return from london to Islamabad. But my flight from islamabad to london is interlinked flight as they send me. My flight from islamabad to dubai as its interlinked got cancelled and i quickly informed to agoda helpline center and they said we are processing your request for another ticket for another date. but till now they are not arranged for me anything. I went to flydubai airline center near to my home and they said ask to your travel agent to send us email about flight cancellation and ask for new flight arrange for same date with Pakistan another city so i can quickly arrange for you when i asked for agoda they said we can't do anything even they said we can't refund. its international law policy if flight got cancelled from airline side that would be fully refund for whole trip. Please arrange for me refund or new ticket. Please accept my request . thanks a lot. i am very upset and mentally disturb now just for his happen. I want new flight confirmation as i request on 07th may 2025. if they can't arrange then refund me for the whole trip . even i have booked hotel paid via agoda also ref
That's a great behind-the-scenes look at the kind of real world engineering challenges that often go unnoticed It's especially interesting to see how a tool designed to help with performance issues like Pyroscope can itself become a source of problems Kudos to Sandeep and the Agoda team for not only identifying the leak but also contributing a fix upstream That’s the kind of proactive ownership and community contribution that makes the tech ecosystem stronger.

5dAmazing stuff!! One note is that your website and app breaks sometimes and does not allow to add guests names for rooms for two people and it is a huge hassle to change or add the guest names. Hope to see the change soon. Posting because i am on hold and speaking with your reps for the last 20 minutes.
