How Linux Kernel BPF Transformed Network Performance

We dig into eBPF, the technology that lets you run sandboxed programs in the kernel without changing source code or loading modules. Lucas and Luna break down how companies like Cloudflare use eBPF to drop millions of malicious packets before they hit application logic, cutting latency and CPU costs. This isn't just about security; it's about observability and traffic management at line speed. We look at the specific mechanics of attaching probes to network stack hooks and why this has replaced traditional firewalling for many modern infrastructure teams.
