Continuous Profiling Your Production Kubernetes Deployments Running at Scale - Vijay Samuel & Nick Pordash, eBay

Continuous profiling is dubbed as fourth pillar of Observability and is rapidly growing in popularity. The Open Telemetry project is formalizing profiles as a supported signal type and we will soon see standardization of profiling in the Observability space. At eBay, we recently explored continuous profiling and immediately saw its benefits. We were so impressed that we decided to turn it on for our metrics platform which runs at massive scale. This talk focuses on: * what is a profile * what is continuous profiling * what are the open source options available to do continuous profiling * how our setup inside of eBay's Observability platform looks like * real life examples on how we greatly improved our system's efficiency * what are the benefits of continuous profiling * what is the promise that it holds for the future
