pixie
Pixie is an open source observability tool based on eBPF for Kubernetes applications. it collects, stores and queries in-cluster telemetry data locally, thus allowing you to monitor service maps, resource usage, and application traffic. It supports user interface, command line interface and data query via client API with a Python-like query language called PxL.

New Relic to open-source Pixie’s eBPF observability platform
“Take a look at Pixie dynamic logging [1]. Deploys eBPF kprobes (based on bpftrace) and uprobe (based a custom front-end language) and instantly get rich data (arts, return value, latency), query data in a Pandas-like scripting language and visual dashboard. [1]”

New Relic to open-source Pixie’s eBPF observability platform
“Yea, the deal is not yet closed, but assuming no regulatory hold up (think new relic is public, so if pixie is worth enough, they'll need to go through HSR) or similar stuff, they agree that the acquisition will go through.”
