Tracing Goroutines in Realtime with eBPF

broken_broken_: Interesting to see an ebpf approach to this idea, some time ago I did the same with Dtrace: https://gaultier.github.io/blog/detecting_goroutine_leaks_wi...However I did not think of observing the ‘castgstatus’ runtime function.Always nice to be able to compare the DTrace and Ebpf approaches, they both have different strong points.

tsuzu: So cool! Does it support multiple Go versions?

trueno: that is actually sick.how common is it for go devs to experience leaking goroutines ? id like to think go is a lot less shoot yourself in the foot here since they provide a framework for concurrency/parallelism rather than you working with the tiny pieces of it and building out the architecture yourself, but ive only needed to use goroutines once and it was a pretty problem-free experience.
