Debugging Encrypted Microservice Traffic with Speedscale's eBPF Collector

Mar 3, 2026 By Matthew LeRay In Speedscale
Production bugs that only reproduce in actual traffic can be some of the most frustrating bugs in software development. You can stare at your logs, add traces to your code, add instrumentation – and still not be able to see the actual requests that went over the wire. And that gets even harder when the requests are encrypted and the system is a black box. You can use tools like Wireshark or Kubeshark to capture the requests.

SAP operations teams are drowning. Every day is a battle against alert fatigue, complex root causes, and repetitive firefighting. And while vendor spin will tell you that moving to the cloud or adopting SAP RISE magically simplifies everything, the reality on the ground is entirely different.

What does investigation look like when data lives in multiple tools?

Mar 3, 2026 By Virtana In Virtana
