This is the story of the most unbelievable demo I've been given in world of open source. While I was busy writing and publishing advanced performance tools using DTrace (my open source [DTraceToolkit] and other [DTrace tools]), I noticed something odd: I was producing more DTrace tools than were coming out of Sun itself.

This is the story of the most unbelievable demo I've been given in world of open source. He was kind enough to give me a quick demo anyway. This was an important innovation by Sun Microsystems, a US-based multinational company worth billions. You can't make this stuff up. To him, I was just some random guy.

There's an arms race to add eBPF (BPF) to commercial observability products, and in this post I'll describe how to quickly do that. People like to show me their BPF observability products after they have prototyped or built them, but I often wish I had given them advice before they started. You might not even like BPF.
