DWARFs and ELFs on the Cloud - eBPF Profiling Adventures in Observability at Scale

Explore the cutting-edge world of continuous profiling as the fourth observability signal in this 22-minute conference talk. Dive into eBPF-driven observability techniques that push the boundaries of system-wide monitoring. Learn about implementing high-resolution profiles with low overhead and without requiring re-deployments. Discover how profilers can adapt to multiple architectures using universal standards for accessible solutions. Examine the rare integration of tools leveraging DWARF and ELF debug information with dynamic profilers in the cloud-native ecosystem. Gain insights into best practices for low-level observability in the cloud and understand how BPF can be used to fetch stacktraces for interpreted runtimes and improve CI profiling. Uncover the challenges of implementing efficient profiling systems at scale, with a focus on meeting the current needs of both end-users and developers in the Observability space.
