More telemetry doesn’t fix incidents faster. This talk covers how eBPF gives you deep, low-overhead visibility into running systems, and how to pair that telemetry with AI techniques to get from “something’s wrong” to a diagnosis faster than dashboards and alerts alone. Practical architectures, real use cases, and the pitfalls to avoid when you point AI at observability data.
