This week at RailsConf, we excited to be unveiling the beta of FiveRuns Tuneup. Our new socially-networked application performance profiling tool for developers.
Our team is made up of Ruby and Ruby on Rails developers. We’re living it every day. And loving it. But, like many, our team has been frustrated in the past looking for simple, elegant ways to debug application performance in development, without having to dig through log files. Collaborating with the community to solve performance problems in Rails applications has also been a challenge, is unfocused, and frequently requires too much context switching – hampering much of the productivity goodness we love about Rails.
What if we could combine simple, graphical performance analysis, that is fully integrated into the development process, with drill-down and troubleshooting capability, and tie in community collaboration for help and advice? TuneUp was born to answer that question.
FiveRuns TuneUp gives developers deep visibility and relevant information to debug and improve the performance of their application, and a community setting to collaborate with others to solve tough performance problems.
Check out a screencast of TuneUp in action here.
TuneUp is, and always will be, a FREE service, it’s dead-simple to install (just drop he plugin into your app) and it’s available now. Check it out and let us know what you think!

This is a really good plugin, but in a few of my applications there are conflicts with CSS so the bar doesn’t display properly.

P.S. Was my previous comment deleted or what?

It worked fine for me, just as below, maybe I caught the rubyforge at the right time.
sudo gem install fiveruns_tuneup fiveruns_tuneup /path/to/rails/app
I’ve fixed the display problem I was having by the way. You can see the bug and fix here: http://forums.fiveruns.com/forums/tune-up/topics/layout-problems
