Low Overhead Python Application Profiling using eBPF

In this talk, we will demonstrate through low-overhead profiling tools for user-land applications, specifically high-level ones. eBPF is a good basis for profiling tools in general; PyPerf, a BCC-based open-source tool of that kind, provides low-overhead Python applications profiling. This talk will walk through CPython internals and will then dive into PyPerf. It will then present a comparison...
