Using Pixie, developers can view the high-level state of their cluster (service maps, cluster resources, application traffic) and also drill down into more detailed views (pod state, flame graphs) without having to modify or redeploy their code.

In this episode of 🌩️ Thunder, Michelle Nguyen, Pixie maintainer, explains how Pixie provides instant Kubernetes observability, and the internals of how it works.

We cover how Pixie uses eBPF to collect telemetry without code instrumentation, what it captures (protocol tracing, resource metrics, application CPU profiles), how data stays in-cluster for privacy, and when to use Pixie alongside OpenTelemetry and Prometheus.
