Key Insights Into Groundcover Observability
🌐 Groundcover is using ebpf to intercept traffic and report observability metrics, making it the next generation of observability.
🌐 Groundcover Observability is focused on reinventing APM solutions for cloud native environments, specifically Kubernetes, to provide a modern and different value for users.
📈 eBPF is sweeping the market and will shape the future of network services and measures in environments like Kubernetes.
🚀 The zero time to value with evpf allows for quick integration and 100% coverage, making it a game-changer for developers.
🔍 Groundcover aims to differentiate itself in the APM space by rebuilding the architecture and addressing scalability and pricing pain points.
🔍 Carreta allows you to create an ad hoc dependency map of your cluster, revealing the actual dependencies between microservices running in the cluster using a lightweight EPF agent.
🌐 The future of APM lies in being able to replace existing solutions like Datadog in specific situations where it doesn’t provide enough value or is too expensive, especially for pure Kubernetes shops.
🚀 Groundcover aims to be an enabler, not just competing with Datadog, but enabling APM for more parts of the industry.
