## What it is
Tracy is a real-time, nanosecond-resolution, hybrid frame and sampling profiler for games and other applications. It supports CPU and GPU profiling, memory allocation tracking, lock contention, and context switches, with integrations for C, C++, Lua, Python, Fortran and third-party bindings for many other languages.

## Use cases
- profile frame times in a game engine
- find CPU hotspots in a C++ application
- trace GPU workloads across Vulkan or Direct3D
- track memory allocations and lock contention
- profile a Lua or Python codebase
- capture remote telemetry from a running application

## When to choose
- you need nanosecond-resolution frame or sampling profiling
- you are developing a game or real-time application and need frame-level insight
- you want combined CPU, GPU, memory, and lock profiling in one tool
- you need remote telemetry profiling of a live application

## When to avoid
- you only need simple benchmark timing without deep profiling
- your language has no Tracy integration and you cannot add one
- you need a fully non-invasive profiler with zero code instrumentation

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: monitoring, tracing, benchmarking, developer-tools
- domain: performance, developer-tools
- platform: windows, cpp, python, cross-platform
- tags: profiler, frame-profiler, sampling-profiler, gpu-profiling, telemetry, gamedev, game-development, linux, macos
