The correct answer is C. Configure Cloud Profiler, and initialize the cloud.google.com/go/profiler library in the application.

According to the Google Cloud documentation, Cloud Profiler is a statistical, low-overhead profiler that continuously gathers CPU usage and memory-allocation information from your production applications1. Cloud Profiler can help you identify slow paths in your code and optimize the performance of your applications. Cloud Profiler supports applications written in Go that run on App Engine standard environment2. To use Cloud Profiler, you need to configure it in your Google Cloud project and initialize the cloud.google.com/go/profiler library in your application code3. You can then use the Cloud Profiler interface to analyze the profiling data and visualize the results by using flame graphs4. Cloud Profiler has minimal performance impact and management overhead, as it only samples a small fraction of the application activity and does not require any additional infrastructure or agents.

The other options are incorrect because they do not meet the requirements of minimizing performance impact and management overhead. Option A is incorrect because it requires installing a continuous profiling tool into Compute Engine, which is an additional infrastructure that needs to be managed and maintained. Option B is incorrect because it requires periodically running the go tool pprof command against the application instance, which is a manual and disruptive process that can affect the application performance. Option D is incorrect because it only uses Cloud Monitoring to assess the App Engine CPU utilization metric, which is not enough to identify slow paths in the code or optimize the application performance.

The most probable cause of the database timeout is an increased number of connections to the Cloud SQL instance. This could happen if the application does not close connections properly or if it creates too many connections at once. You can check the number of connections to the Cloud SQL instance using Cloud Monitoring or Cloud SQL Admin API .
