ebpf-observability

authentic

Use eBPF for deep kernel-level observability — trace syscalls, network flows, and application behavior without code changes using Cilium, Tetragon, and bpftrace.

When to use

• Deep performance debugging
• Network observability without sidecars
• Security monitoring at the kernel boundary
• Continuous profiling in production
• Service mesh replacement or augmentation

When not to use

• Kernel version below 4.19
• Managed platforms that restrict BPF capabilities
• Debugging needs fully met by application-level tracing
