Grafana Beyla: Zero-code distributed traces and metrics for your microservices with eBPF

Instrumenting applications to capture observability requires technical effort and cultural changes, especially when dealing with polyglot architectures. Each application language technology brings different instrumentation strategies and best practices: Some programming languages support instrumentation agents, like Java and .NET; some have auto-instrumentation libraries, such as Python and Ruby; while others can only be instrumented with manual instrumentation, like Rust. Join this session for a demo of Grafana Beyla, our state-of-the-art answer to instrumentation with eBPF. You’ll learn how to get fully distributed traces and RED metrics on a Kubernetes cluster with applications written in various languages, using a multitude of application protocols (HTTP, gRPC, SQL), all with a single Grafana Beyla instance deployed as Kubernetes DaemonSet.
