The next frontier of observability is not just collecting more data, but turning it into reliable, automated root cause analysis. In this talk, we explore how eBPF unlocks deep, low-overhead visibility into systems, making it an ideal foundation for AI-driven troubleshooting.

You’ll learn how to combine eBPF-based telemetry with modern AI techniques to move beyond dashboards and alerts toward faster, more accurate incident diagnosis. We’ll walk through practical architectures, real-world use cases, and common pitfalls when applying AI to observability data.
