Presented by: Yonatan Goldschmidt, Principal Engineer and Team Lead at Granulate.

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 to traditional profiling methods and will review the benefits of basing on eBPF vs. user-land, system-calls-based profilers, and how eBPF provides unique seamlessness and full transparency for Python applications.
