Second Talk: "Shopify’s Open Source Approach to Network Monitoring with eBPF, Vector and ClickHouse" by Sebastian Rabenhorst
At Shopify, we’ve successfully implemented a scalable, open-source network monitoring solution for the cloud. In this talk, we will demonstrate how we built a network monitoring solution leveraging eBPF, Vector, ClickHouse, and Grafana. This solution enables us to monitor over 30 million network flow, DNS and other networking-related events per second at the container level for thousands of services across hundreds of Kubernetes clusters in the Shopify Cloud. We will also share the lessons we learned regarding these technologies and provide insights on how you can implement your own purely open-source monitoring solution capable of handling millions of events per second.
Sebastian is a Senior Production Engineer at Shopify.
