Copy-paste prompts

Prompt 1
Show me how to run 0x against my Node.js app to generate a flamegraph and find the slowest function.
Prompt 2
Explain how to read a 0x flamegraph so I can tell whether my API's slowness comes from database calls or CPU-bound code.
Prompt 3
Help me profile my REST API with 0x while a load-testing tool sends it realistic traffic.
Prompt 4
Walk me through using 0x on a production server without disrupting the running application.
