aya/aya-rs
A pure-Rust eBPF library focused on developer experience, operability, and compile-once-run-everywhere capabilities.
What is aya/aya-rs?
Aya is an eBPF library for Rust that enables developers to write programs that run inside the Linux kernel. It focuses on operability and developer experience, providing a pure-Rust alternative to traditional eBPF toolchains like libbpf and bcc. It solves the problem of building and deploying portable eBPF applications with minimal dependencies and fast compilation times.
Rust developers and systems programmers who need to write eBPF programs for Linux kernel instrumentation, networking, security, or observability. It's particularly suited for those seeking a modern, Rust-native workflow.
Developers choose Aya for its compile-once-run-everywhere capability via BTF support, lack of external dependencies like a C toolchain, and fast build times. Its pure-Rust implementation offers better safety, ergonomics, and integration with the Rust ecosystem compared to C-based alternatives.
Overview
Aya is an eBPF library for the Rust programming language, built with a focus on developer experience and operability.
