About Pixie
Pixie is an open-source Kubernetes monitoring and application debug platform designed for developers. It provides deep visibility into Kubernetes clusters by automatically collecting metrics, events, traces, and logs without requiring any code changes, leveraging dynamic eBPF probes. This allows developers to debug applications and infrastructure directly within their Kubernetes environment.
The platform offers a CLI for health checks and charts, enabling developers to stay within their workflow, and a 'Live' interface for navigating data. A key feature is its scriptability, allowing users to run and share custom or community-contributed PXL scripts for debugging. Pixie is Kubernetes-native, meaning it runs entirely within the cluster and does not store customer data externally, addressing concerns about data egress and cost associated with off-cluster telemetry. It supports various Kubernetes distributions like Minikube, EKS, GKE, AKS, and self-managed clusters.
