Using eBPF to debug your running apps and AI agents 10-20x faster

eBPF technology is completely revolutionizing how we monitor, operate, and control applications running on Linux. Traditional APM, monitoring tools, and network solutions are feeling more like a hammer and chisel compared to the new capabilities that are now emerging.

As apps and AI agents are becoming more and more distributed with ever-increasing critical dependencies on external LLMs, SaaS APIs, and even internal micro-services, these legacy solutions aren’t cutting it. Let’s take a look at how these modern eBPF capabilities and tools can keep up with your AI-enhanced and now faster-than-ever workflows.

What you’ll learn:

• What is eBPF and how can I use it?
• What can I do or see with eBPF?
• How to auto-instrument your apps with open-telemetry tracing
• See who your apps or AI agents are talking to in real time, along with payloads
• Capture errors and anomalous requests without a proxy

Speaker: Tyler Flint

Tyler is a passionate developer with nearly 20 years of experience, and a serial entrepreneur who has built 5 businesses with multiple exits, the most recent acquisition by DigitalOcean - the developer’s cloud. Tyler is a rare full-stack developer for whom the stack starts at the kernel and ends on the client device. He can speak passionately about kernel topics like eBPF, engage in a heated debate about javascript frontend frameworks or AI agents, and speak to nearly every technology in between. Driven by ADHD and swears he’s not autistic, though admits he may have “a titch of the t’ism”, his talks are always amusing if nothing else.
