Description
Today’s Full Stack Journey podcast is all about Pixie, an “open source observability tool for Kubernetes applications.” Pixie takes advantage of eBPF to capture telemetry data. Joining Scott to provide a beginner-level overview of Pixie is Fabian Ngala (@FabianNgala on Twitter).
In this show, Scott and Fabian discuss:
* What is Pixie, exactly?
* Why would someone consider using Pixie?
* What technologies does Pixie leverage?
* How is Pixie different from other observability tools such as Prometheus?
Scott and Fabian don’t dive deep into Pixie’s internals, but Pixie is such an interesting topic that you’ll probably see another Pixie-centric episode in the future. Stay tuned!
