Performance and reliability pitfalls of eBPF


This talk will go over a number of performance and reliability pitfalls of the different eBPF program types we have discovered building production ready eBPF based products at Datadog. This includes the changing performance characteristics of kprobes over different kernel versions, reliability issues with fentry due to a kernel bug, and the pains of scaling uprobes, among other things.
