Using eBPF to Debug eBPF

In one of our latest posts, StackState Co-Founder Mark Bakker described how eBPF revolutionizes observability and how StackState’s agents rely heavily on eBPF to capture and analyze the data moving through your cluster. Today, we’re looking at an example where our eBPF code failed and — by diving deep into the intricacies of eBPF implementation in the Linux kernel — share the tale of how we fixed it using even more eBPF.

What is Application Performance Monitoring?

In this "Observability in Action" video, Andreas Prins, CEO of StackState, unveils the significance of Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and the results delivered. APM is pivotal for maintaining service levels, detecting application issues, ensuring customer satisfaction, and achieving a swift Mean Time To Repair. Andreas explores how StackState's APM solution transcends typical monitoring tools by offering.

Application Troubleshooting with Automated Root Cause Analysis

In the complex and fast-paced world of application deployment, getting a handle on the tangle of services and resources can sometimes feel like trying to find your way through a maze without a map. And if something goes wrong, trying to find out what's happening where is even more difficult. With alert emails flooding in and questions flying left and right, identifying the glitch that's causing issues can seem like a Herculean feat.

How to detect and overcome Kubernetes CPU Throttling

A few days ago, I challenged myself: Could I create a CPU throttling monitor without using StackState's docs page? I'll go a bit deeper into CPU throttling later, but first: Why this mission? At StackState, we believe that every software developer should be able to observe the health and reliability of their own application — quickly and easily.

Webinar: Cloud security and observability: When integrity and availability meet

The bad news: It’s no wonder so many organizations find it near impossible to get control of — and ensure — a secure, reliable network. The good news: Technology leaders from Prisma Cloud and StackState show you how you can significantly enhance the integrity and availability of your cloud environment — with just a few lines of code or simple clicks.

Streamlining Cloud Operations by Unifying Security & Observability

Many companies are using cloud technologies to become more agile, scalable, and cost-effective during their digital transformation. However, this change brings new challenges in maintaining the security and performance of applications and infrastructure in the cloud. Security and observability go hand-in-hand.

eBPF: Revolutionizing Observability for DevOps and SRE Teams

Whether you're a system administrator, a developer, or any other DevOps or Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) professional, you know that staying ahead in cloud-native computing is crucial. One way to keep your competitive edge in the technology game is to embrace the benefits of eBPF (Extended Berkeley Packet Filter). On top of advances in security and networking, eBPF-based tools are particularly impacting the observability landscape.

The Last Mile of Observability - Fine-Tuning Notifications for More Timely Alerts

No one wants to get an alert in the middle of the night. No one wants their Slack flooded to the point of opting out from channels. And indeed, no one wants an urgent alert to be ignored, spiraling into an outage. Getting the right alert to the right person through the right channel — with the goal of initiating immediate action — is the last mile of observability.
