Building an eBPF-Based Profiler

The team at ContainIQ has been working hard to release an eBPF-based profiler for a number of different languages. In the next post in this series, we’ll outline the performance improvements necessary to make this implementation feasible. The performance overhead of the function entry and exit probes is, as expected, relatively poor. Without further modifications, the code above can cause significant drags on your application.
