## What it is
MiniProfiler is a lightweight profiling library and UI for .NET, ASP.NET, and ASP.NET Core applications. It shows where time is spent in requests, including SQL queries and custom timings, via an on-page performance indicator and shareable results.

## Use cases
- profile slow pages in an ASP.NET Core app
- see which SQL queries run and how long they take
- add custom timing instrumentation to C# code
- debug performance issues in a web application
- share request timings with teammates
- profile a .NET console application

## When to choose
- you need lightweight, low-overhead request profiling in .NET
- you want a quick UI overlay showing timings and queries per page
- you need profiling for both legacy ASP.NET and ASP.NET Core

## When to avoid
- you need full APM with distributed tracing across services
- you want continuous production monitoring and alerting rather than dev-time profiling
- your stack is not .NET

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: monitoring, tracing, benchmarking, developer-tools
- domain: performance, web-development, developer-tools, backend
- platform: dotnet, cross-platform
- tags: profiler, asp-net, asp-net-core, sql-query-timing, nuget, performance-analysis, web-server
