I know what eBPF is, but what is Pixie? A single sentence describing Pixie wouid be useful.

In general, academic rule applies: Never write an article without defining terms beforehand.



Engineer from Pixie here. Pixie is an APM tool for Kubernetes leveraging eBPF for automatic data collection. You can use it to monitor and debug your application performance, without code or configuration changes.


You're being too modest. Pixie is a general purpose observability and monitoring tool, with especially strong attributes around APM.


APM? /s


/s noted (but point also taken). For those unfamiliar: APM = application performance monitoring. Essentially, figuring out why your application is slow or broken.


Couldn't this just be called 'monitoring'?


New Relic calls it something different so they can charge a lot more for it.



Any plans to bring this to Cloud Foundry?
