The Puffin macros write data to a thread-local data stream. When the outermost scope of a thread is closed, the data stream is sent to a global profiler collector. The scopes are pretty light-weight, costing around 100-200 nanoseconds.

You have to turn on the profiler before it captures any data with a call to puffin::set_scopes_on(true);. When the profiler is off the profiler scope macros only has an overhead of 1-2 ns (and some stack space);

Once per frame you need to call puffin::GlobalProfiler::lock().new_frame();.

To view the profile data in-game you can use puffin_egui.

If you are using the imgui crate, there is also puffin-imgui.

You can use puffin_http to send profile events over TCP to puffin_viewer.

Also check out the crate profiling which provides a unifying layer of abstraction on top of puffin and other profiling crates.
