For those interested, you can also take a look at our open-source project DeepFlow - https://deepflow.io - https://github.com/deepflowio/deepflow

We use eBPF to achieve non-intrusive (we call it `zero-code`) observability without modifying any application code, and have implemented three core features: Universal Map, Distributed Tracing, and Continuous Profiling.

Yes, we have implemented *Distributed* tracing using eBPF. Because of this achievement, we have also published a paper in ACM SIGCOMM 2023.

I have to say I find projects that talk about generic concepts (observability, tracing, eBPF), but then when you dig in the docs it's 100% Kubernetes-specific, to be highly misleading. Not everyone uses Kubernetes, and distributed tracing is a good thing to have regardless of the underlying platform.

"Cloud Native" == Kubernetes

As in https://www.cncf.io/

Another variant of this is when something mentions code profiling and it only supports Go.

For distributed tracing, how is deepflow able to correlate an inbound request (eg. client call) with an outbound request (eg. 3rd party API call required to service client call) without being inside the business logic?

The copy is way too buzzword dense imo
