Huge fan of eBPF but admittedly less informed than I could be; could someone point out some instances where this wouldn't be able to replace agent instrumentation eventually? I understand the bits of the kernel we're able to hook

I'm curious to hear people's thoughts on eBPF generally, it seems likely that this is where observability companies are headed. It's non-trivial to implement but monitoring from the kernel layer makes so much sense that I exp

"Open source was taking over enterprises long before k8s" True, also not related to the point I was trying to make. Executives tend to be handwavey and vague sometimes but I'm pretty sure the "sea change" they'

I've mostly worked for companies that were all in on things like open source and cloud my entire career, but it's easy to forget that there are huge companies that just recently replaced their tape drives. If I were to guess at th

I've had some success convincing anti-cloud (cloud reticent?) companies by pointing to things like FedRAMP compliance: "You know how hard it is to get ______ compliance? Your data is probably safer there..." kind of conversat

Stagnant seems like an overstatement given 500 commits on one of the agents alone in the last month. There is surely a way to criticize without devaluing the unread contributions of literally hundreds of developers. I personally am much mor

While I do not condone the use of the s-word here I understand the sentiment and I am also glad to see that they've open sourced them, however belated the decision. With regard to opening the servers I've actually just now submitt

I think this is probably less relevant today - after a certain size the "moat" for an observability company starts to be their existing customer base. If NR works with everything and everything works with NR it's much harder

Didip! Long time - I'm back at NR as of a month ago after 5yrs away. We did have all the agent code out in the open but it was more "source available" than it was open source. You could see what was happening but not build on

My understanding is that it has more to do with the general direction of observability. The agent code was always open, we frequently accepted PRs from the community when I was on their Ruby agent team, but they didn't use an open sour

Came here to share this - NR just redid their entire pricing structure, in my opinion it's now a much better approach for horizontal scaling. Most everything is now part of a single product: New Relic One. You pay for data ingest beyon
