## What it is
Microprofile is an embeddable CPU and GPU profiler written in a few C++ files that you drop into your project. It provides scoped timers, counters, timeline markers, and a live web-based capture view for inspecting frame performance.

## Use cases
- profile frame times in a game engine
- instrument cpu code with scoped timers
- measure gpu timings with vulkan or d3d12
- capture and share performance traces as html
- track custom counters like memory usage
- profile multithreaded renderers

## When to choose
- you need a lightweight, embeddable profiler with minimal integration effort
- you are developing a game or real-time graphics application and need frame-level profiling
- you want gpu timing support across OpenGL, D3D11, D3D12, and Vulkan
- you need a live web view to inspect running performance

## When to avoid
- you need a sampling profiler for whole-process analysis without code instrumentation
- you want a managed-language profiler for Python, Java, or JavaScript
- you need long-term production monitoring rather than development-time profiling

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: monitoring, tracing, benchmarking, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, performance, graphics
- platform: cpp, c, cross-platform, windows
- tags: profiler, instrumentation, gpu-timing, embeddable, game-engine-tools, cpu-profiling, game-development, linux, macos
