Pixie, an open-source observability platform for Kubernetes, can be used to turn low-level telemetry data into high-level signals about system health and automate workflows.
- Observability in cloud-native applications is a data analytics problem
- Pixie uses automated telemetry using eBPF to capture application, network, and infrastructure data with low overhead
- Pixie is 100% scriptable and API-driven, allowing for infrastructure as code and easy integration with downstream tools
- Pixie can be used to generate high-level signals about system health and automate workflows, such as detecting SQL injections and K8s deployment autoscaling
