This image is a flame graph representing the performance profile of a software application. It is primarily colored in gradients of red, orange, and yellow, with various shades indicating different levels of resource consumption. The vertical axis represents the stack depth, where each block represents a function in the call stack at a moment in time; the wider the block, the more time the program spent in that function. Text labels overlay the blocks, indicating function names, with some labels mentioning 'waitress', 'pyramid', 'bootstrap', and 'our code'. The image is complex, with many overlapping layers of blocks and text, suggesting a detailed profiling session designed to diagnose performance issues or bottlenecks within the software.
