   Compared to multi-threaded process, there is still a big advantage in terms of latency. Handling all the exporting in the same process will greatly effect GC operations which require stop the world handling.

   The eBPF programs handle passing the context through the requests by adding a field to the header as you mentioned. The injected field is according to the w3c standard.

   The main factor for reduced latency is the separation between recording and processing of data. The eBPF programs are the only overhead for the instrumented process in terms of latency. The eBPF programs transfer the collected data to a sep
