You found yourself interested in the possibilities of eBPF and read many of the code examples, but they all look slightly different and some seem to use arcane C constructs? Rest assured, modern eBPF code can be much simpler to read and write!
The eBPF ecosystem has matured and many restrictions from the early days do not apply anymore. Instead, we now can use a number of modern features that allow us to build maintainable eBPF applications. This talk will provide an overview with hands-on examples of how you can make your life easier as an eBPF developer when your applications grow in size and complexity. The focus will be on networking applications, but many of the concepts also apply to tracing eBPF programs.
After this talk, you will be able to better navigate the eBPF development landscape and hopefully you can remove some old cruft from your eBPF programs that is not needed anymore in 2023.
