I write about Cloud-native Observability, eBPF, Containers, Kubernetes, and OTel.
Additionally, I journal my daughter Naomi's coding journey—a nine-year-old with a growing passion for programming.
When I'm not working, you'll find me teaching my girls how to code, taking long bike trips that sometimes turn into hikes in good weather, playing chess, tinkering with Arduino boards, or enjoying meals and drinks with friends & family.
I was crazy enough to enrol in an MBA program a while ago. I'm glad it's now over, I graduated with a distinction in MBA Data Analytics.
I work as a Product Manager and I love data.
This is a beginner's guide to eBPF. Learn how to use eBPF, Go, and Prometheus to monitor network events unobtrusively. You'll learn how to use Linux tracepoints to monitor TCP transmissions and use Prometheus to store and visualize the data you collect.

Lately, I've been dwelling on the inevitable end of my life. To whom do I bring the sorrow of my passing? To what end? Do I give a crap about what I will be remembered for?
If your cloud-native observability strategy or solution does not include continuous profiling using eBPF, then you must go back to the drawing board. Here's why...
Measure yourself with the frequency and quality of original insights that you and your team come up with that make your value unique...
Observability lets us understand a system from the outside by letting us ask questions about that system without knowing its inner workings. OTel creates a unified standard for olly.
eBPF is what JavaScript is to HTML. It is a mechanism for Linux applications to execute code in Linux kernel space...
Distributed tracing provides end-to-end visibility and reveals service dependencies – showing how the services respond to each other to fulfil a request...
