Blackfire.io is a service that allows code profiling to be stored and analyzed via an online profile on the Blackfire.io website.
It doesn't require any additional Drupal modules to use, but once you've made sure blackfire is in the list of installed_extras in config.yml (and Drupal VM has been provisioned), you need to log into Drupal VM and run the setup steps outlined on the Blackfire Ansible role's README.
Note: You should only enable one code profiler at a time—e.g. when using Blackfire, disable XHProf, Tideways and XDebug.
Once you've configured your environment for your own Blackfire account, you can profile a request with Blackfire by running something like the following example (within Drupal VM, after logging in with vagrant ssh):
$ blackfire curl http://drupalvm.test/
