Ask HN: Is Anyone Using eBPF Beyond Observability?

by slayerjain on 10/5/23, 6:26 PM with 2 comments

I've noticed the growing popularity of eBPF, primarily for instantaneous observability.

However, since I've begun using it for a different purpose, I can't shake the feeling that I might be misusing it, given that its predominant use appears to be for observability.

Does anyone else use eBPF for different applications? :D

    Isn't it also used to intercept outgoing network connections and redirect them sidecar processes? Envoy and friends?
