DeepFlow – open-source eBPF Distributed Tracing

  • Nice project, have been following this project casually for a while. The standout feature is to trace RPC flow across network connections, through packet tracing.

  • Haven’t checked the source code yet, wondering if profiling of code without frame pointes is supported. Curious on their approach.

  • > DeepFlow can even analyze code performance through network profiling under old version kernels (2.6+).

    This is an interesting call-out, the last release of 2.6 is from 2011. I wonder who is still running that in production.

  • I don't have any idea what this is, but the graphs are beautiful.

  • good project. I'll take a try. ebpf is so popular, but we're still using traditional network plugins.

  • How are you different from Pixie?

  • nice

  • Apache 2, if that interests you: https://github.com/deepflowio/deepflow/blob/v6.4.7/LICENSE

    heh, GitHub also has "symbol navigation" turned on for that license file but I didn't dig into it to find out what source language it thinks the file is
