Pixie
eBPF-based observability platform that gives instant visibility into Kubernetes applications without any code changes or manual instrumentation.
Overview
Pixie uses eBPF to automatically capture telemetry - HTTP/gRPC requests, database queries, network connections, resource usage - straight from the Linux kernel, so a team gets deep application observability without adding a single tracing library or agent to their code. Data stays in-cluster by default rather than being shipped externally.
Pixie is a fit for teams that want to debug a Kubernetes application right now without having pre-instrumented it, a fundamentally different approach from OpenTelemetry Collector's instrumentation-based model (also in this catalog).
