Analyzer php-write-volume-fgraph

Name

php-write-volume-fgraph - PHP-Land Virtual File System Write Volume Flame Graph

This analyzer profiles the data volume of file system write operations in PHP-land code execution. It captures stack traces along with the number of bytes written by PHP functions through the virtual file system layer. The analyzer generates flame graphs that visualize the total data volume written across different code paths, helping identify high-volume write operations and optimize data persistence efficiency in PHP applications.
