Continuous Profiling Your Production Kubernetes Deployments Running at Scale

Continuous profiling is rapidly growing in popularity as the fourth pillar of Observability, with Open Telemetry formalizing profiles as a supported signal type. This talk, presented by Vijay Samuel and Nick Pordash from eBay, explores their experience implementing continuous profiling for their production Kubernetes deployments running at scale. They discuss what profiles and continuous profiling are, available open-source options, their setup within eBay's Observability platform, and real-world examples of how they improved system efficiency. The presentation also covers the benefits of continuous profiling and its future potential.
