This BoF invites engineers, tool authors, and end users to share practical experiences, challenges, and success stories around using eBPF for observability. Whether you're building your own tools or just trying to run libbpf-tools, this session is a space to openly discuss what breaks—and what works. In particular, we also want to explore a critical question for organizations adopting eBPF: How do we grow the next generation of engineers who understand and trust these tools?
