How Linux eBPF Observes Every Packet in Real Time

Lucas and Luna dive into eBPF, the kernel technology that lets you trace network packets and system calls without adding any overhead. They start with a concrete example: using bpftrace to answer a question that would normally take hours of digging through tcpdump logs. Along the way, they explain what eBPF is, why it's a game-changer for observability, how it compares to older tools like tcpdump and strace, and why the Linux kernel can run these programs safely. They also touch on how companies like Netflix and Facebook use eBPF in production, and what that means for anyone running a server today. If you've ever wanted to see inside your kernel, this episode gives you the perfect entry point. #eBPF #Linux #Observability #Kernel #Bpftrace #Networking #SysAdmin #DevOps #Performance #Trace #FexingoBusiness #Technology #OpenSource #LinuxKernel #CloudNative #Troubleshooting #PacketAnalysis #Security Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
