About this event

Hello Gophers,
Happy New Year!
As we do in January, we're starting the year slow and meet a bit later than usual to kick off the year. We sure do need a rest after the last one! Let's hope this one will have better news for all of us.
If you'd like to give a talk - submit your proposals here: http://goo.gl/forms/54YvJT223FWe're meeting every 2nd Wednesday of the month, online until the end of the pandemie.
If you'd like to suggest topics for the fishbowl session or if you have more ideas - talk to us at the Gophers slack: https://gophersinvite.herokuapp.com/ in the #berlin channel.

Agenda

6:00 PM	Networking	Networking over your home beverage+drinks (we're using Slido)
6:25 PM	Welcome words
6:30 PM	GoBridge Mentoring Program / Bill Kennedy	Bill Kennedy will join us to talk about the new mentoring program available to the Go community by GoBridge!
7:00 PM	Announcements, HR lost & found, break
7:30 PM	No-instrumentation Structured Go Logging with eBPF / Zain Asgar, Ishan Mukherjee	- When dynamic tracepoint injection can help debug - Write and deploy a simple eBPF user-space probe - Performance and security constraints Developer Problem: Go programs are designed to be performant but we often don't have the right code-level instrumentation when a performance issue arises in a production go program. It's hard to predict where issues will arise and we can't instrument everything as over-aggressive instrumentation leads to maintenance overheads. Motivating Developer Experience : Enable tracing/logging of application code to answer the following questions without instrumentation: - Function Argument Tracing: ""What are the arguments being passed to Foo(x, y, z)?"" - Function Input-Output Tracing: ""What are the arguments and return value of calls to Foo(x, y, z)?"" - Conditional Function Tracing: ""What are the arguments being passed to SetInfo(user, address) when user==alice?"" - Function Latency Tracing (Profiling): ""What is the latency (call to return) of calls to Login(username)?"" Proposed Solution: Write and deploy eBPF userspace-probes native in Linux VMs v4.9+ to dynamically inject tracepoint in your go programs with the following constraints: - Less than 5% performance overhead - Reliably start, deploy and stop probes without leaks. - Provide apis to sample, filter and access data. Presentation Goals & Pixie's Involvement: Presentation would be about how go developers can independently write and deploy an open-source eBPF probe without any back-end dependency. Pixie is one of many potential back-ends to allow developers to deploy such probes at scale. Other projects include BCC, inspector-gadget etc.
