caretta
A lightweight eBPF-based tool that instantly visualizes Kubernetes service dependencies and network traffic in Grafana.
What is caretta?
Caretta is an open-source tool that automatically generates a real-time network dependency map for Kubernetes services. It uses eBPF to trace all inter-service communications without code instrumentation, then visualizes the data in Grafana to help teams understand traffic flows and identify bottlenecks. It solves the problem of opaque service dependencies in complex microservices architectures.
Platform engineers, SREs, and DevOps practitioners managing Kubernetes clusters who need visibility into service dependencies and network traffic patterns.
Developers choose Caretta because it provides instant, zero-configuration dependency mapping using lightweight eBPF technology, integrates seamlessly with existing Grafana setups, and requires no application changes—making it ideal for production environments.
