Sidecarless Mesh Monitoring with eBPF and Grafana
summary
Claims that eBPF hooks into the kernel to capture socket events and produce Prometheus metrics without sidecars, using Bumblebee to package, push, and run eBPF programs that emit counts of calls between pod IPs. Demo shows Grafana node graph built from those metrics that visualizes A→B→C traffic even when only A and B run sidecars. Notes that eBPF is low overhead, not on the request path, and can coexist with Envoy rather than fully replace L7 proxies.
