Tracing
Tracing follows a request across services so you can see where time goes and where it fails. Useful from UI calls down to platform and network layers.
- End-to-end spans across the path that matters for your apps.
- Real-time views for live incidents, not only post-mortems.
- Find bottlenecks and slow dependencies with data, not guesses.
- Fit the instrumentation to your stack — bare metal through Kubernetes.
Cilium and eBPF
Cilium uses eBPF for networking, security, and visibility in Kubernetes. It can show service flows and policy behavior, and pairs with Prometheus and Grafana for dashboards. Layer 7 visibility (HTTP/gRPC) helps when microservices talk a lot and traditional network tools fall short.
