BumbleBee: Or How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love eBPF
summary
eBPF onboarding that skips runtime compilation and userland plumbing, letting you build OCI images of kernel-space C probes, push/pull them with a Docker-like CLI, and export Prometheus metrics directly from kernel maps. Uses libbpf and modern BPF core patterns, currently supports hashmap and ring buffer map types, exposes gauges and counters (no histograms yet), runs as a DaemonSet or standalone, and aims for tighter Kubernetes/operator integration and logging.
