Building Observability for 99% Developers
summary
Claim: make observability usable for the “99% developers” by applying compiler/program-analysis ideas to live traffic. Uses ebpf passive packet capture to avoid code changes, infers routes and types to build automatic API maps, and aims for zero-instrumentation installs that run in staging and prod. Built a beta agent and a proxy path for encrypted traffic; it surfaces endpoints and surprising invisible calls rather than dumping raw logs, and is already usable enough for early customers despite TLS and integration limits.
