Building the OpenTelemetry eBPF Profiler - Nayef Ghattas, Datadog Continuous profiling connects resource consumption to the code responsible for it, adding a code-level view alongside metrics, logs, and traces. The OpenTelemetry eBPF Profiler extends that view across Linux systems, crossing languages, runtimes, and shared libraries without requiring application changes or restarts. Alongside the profiler, the community is shaping the OpenTelemetry Profiles signal to create a common way to represent and transport profiling data. This talk explores what profiling adds to observability, what we are learning by building the profiler and signal collaboratively, and how together they can make profiling open, portable, and broadly accessible.
