Building a Minimal Service Mesh with eBPF and Envoy
A hands-on guide to building a minimal service mesh using eBPF and Envoy, focusing on transparent traffic interception and the core mechanics behind policy, observability, and encryption.
Ultra-focused learning series that combine practical challenges, concise theory, and visual explanations.
A hands-on guide to building a minimal service mesh using eBPF and Envoy, focusing on transparent traffic interception and the core mechanics behind policy, observability, and encryption.
A hands-on learning path that teaches how to use eBPF and XDP for high-performance, in-kernel packet processing, from protocol parsing to advanced use cases like firewalling, rate limiting, and load balancing.
In this learning path, you’ll go from comparing different tracing program types — tracepoints, raw tracepoints, kprobes, and fprobes — to writing portable eBPF programs that work reliably across environments. You’ll also understand the role of BTF and learn how to make your eBPF code portable even when BTF isn’t available on the target system.
