pixie
An open-source observability tool for Kubernetes applications that automatically collects telemetry using eBPF.
What is pixie?
Pixie is an open-source observability platform for Kubernetes that automatically collects telemetry data using eBPF technology. It provides instant visibility into cluster resources, network traffic, service performance, and application behavior without requiring manual instrumentation. Pixie solves the problem of complex observability setup by offering automatic data collection and in-cluster processing.
Kubernetes platform engineers, SREs, and developers who need immediate observability into their containerized applications without extensive configuration.
Developers choose Pixie because it provides automatic, zero-instrumentation observability with minimal performance overhead. Its unique combination of eBPF-based auto-telemetry, in-cluster edge compute, and flexible query language offers deep visibility that traditional monitoring tools require significant effort to achieve.
