Elastic's donation introduces a production-grade, eBPF-based continuous profiling agent to the OpenTelemetry ecosystem, offering whole-system, always-on profiling capabilities with minimal overhead.
Adopting continuous profiling into an observability system eliminates disruptive service restarts, reduces performance overhead from code instrumentation, and offers visibility into third-party libraries.
The formation of a dedicated Special Interest Group (SIG) for profiles in OpenTelemetry aims to develop a standardized approach to continuous profiling and faces crucial decisions.
