Today I want to share a very cool feature of Suzieq, which I've been using a lot at the moment, but before I dive in, for those of you who are new to Suzieq... Suzieq is an observability platform that allows you to query your network using a common set

If you have already read my previous article, you probably know what the verifier is. Anyway let's make a short recap. eBPF allows you to execute a program (BPF bytecode) directly inside the kernel through an in-kernel VM. Since the code comes from the user space, and as users we do a lot of mistakes (believe me), the code needs to be checked before the execution....

In this article, we explain how to scale Elixir to handle 100k connections per second.

Lately I’ve been working on re-writing Tracee from Python to Go. Tracee is a system tracing tool based on eBPF, a Linux technology that we used for collecting the events in the kernel (for an introduction to eBPF see here). Tracee is using the bcc project to easily work with eBPF. During the migration from Python to Go, we moved from using bcc’s python library to the gobpf library, which was supposed to offer similar functionality to the bcc’s Python library. However, during the migration we have noticed a missing functionality in the gobpf library - the ability to handle “lost events”. In this post we’ll discuss what exactly are those lost events and how we implemented this missing feature in gobpf.

Overview At Synadia we have the goal of unifying all cloud, edge, and IoT communications. We guide companies in their journey from where they are today toward efficiently operating a secure and resilient modern distributed communications system and leverage the NATS.io project to get them there. Derek Collison, creator of NATS, founded Synadia which stewards the NATS project. We see users deploy NATS in ways that fit into a few buckets - a single cluster k8s deployment, a cluster of NATS servers in the cloud, on VMs, or on bare metal.
