Meta's eBPF-Powered Strobelight Software Reduced CPU Cycles By 20%
Adding to the excitement around the possibilities provided by the in-kernel eBPF Linux tech, Meta shared that their Strobelight software they are working on open-sourcing for profiling across servers has yielded a 20% reduction in CPU cycles and in turn a 10-20% reduction in the number of required servers for Meta’s top services.

Now today via the eBPF Foundation blog is a look at how this profiling orchestrator is yielding some very significant benefits for Meta and their massive fleet of servers. One anecdote is that via Strobelight's eBPF profiling capabilities they discovered a single one-character code change that saves 15,000 servers worth of annual capacity.
