Continuous profiling is part of OpenTelemetry and coming to Erlang/Elixir through https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-ebpf-profiler

Does or will Sentry support the Otel protocol for profiling?

@solnic @whatyouhide hopefully easier to integrate than tracing if you are able to go the route of using the Otel solution.

A couple people at Elastic who built the profiler have offered to help and @GregMefford plans to work on it.

I reckon it would make a lot of sense to do it via OTel, especially that we're gonna use it for Tracing soon.
