Deep JVM Observability with eBPF: Beyond Prometheus

Modern Java applications often run in complex, distributed environments where performance monitoring and observability are critical. While tools like Prometheus and JMX provide valuable insights into JVM metrics, they sometimes fall short in delivering low-level, granular performance data. This is where eBPF (extended Berkeley Packet Filter) comes into play. eBPF is a powerful Linux kernel technology that enables deep observability into …
