How Netflix uses eBPF flow logs at scale for network insight

The Netflix TechBlog

By Alok Tiagi , Hariharan Ananthakrishnan , Ivan Porto Carrero and Keerti Lakshminarayan Netflix has developed a network observability sidecar called Flow Exporter that uses eBPF tracepoints to capture TCP flows at near real time. Without having network visibility, it’s difficult to improve our reliability, security and capacity posture.

In-Stream Big Data Processing

Highly Scalable

The shortcomings and drawbacks of batch-oriented data processing were widely recognized by the Big Data community quite a long time ago. This system has been designed to supplement and succeed the existing Hadoop-based system that had too high latency of data processing and too high maintenance costs. Pipelining.
