Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Show HN: Alaz: Open-Source, Self-Hosted, eBPF-Based K8s Monitoring
I am really curious, why build another project that has similar features as another open source software pixie - https://px.dev/.

Open source alternatives to Grafana
Kibana is a good alternative if you can allow storing all your data in Elasticsearch, or you can use all-in-one monitoring tools like pixie https://github.com/pixie-io/pixie

Lens Dashboard for monitoring multiple AKS/EKS/... clusters
Plenty of paid monitoring solutions out there. Instana is pretty slick. NewRelic has a new open source tool, https://github.com/pixie-io/pixie

Too many cook in the kitchen? I find everyone just wanna create their own Kubernetes plugin solution.
Cilium multi-cluster mesh is a bit different, compared to service meshes, and it's L4, so should be fine with eBPF / XDP based routing. From observability standpoint I'd go for pixie - it should work just fine with both linkerd and istio, instead of Hubble, and Cilium's Tetragon was missing policies about 3-4 months ago (needs doublec-hecking if they had introduced any).

Launch HN: Odigos (YC W23) – Instant distributed tracing for Kubernetes clusters
Congratulations on the launch, and thank you for choosing an awesome license!
For an unrelated reason, today I was reminded about Pixie (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25375170 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31687978 and https://github.com/pixie-io/pixie#readme ), which says is also an ebpf kubernetes observability tool, also Apache licensed.
I suspect the difference may be your aspirations to move out of just kubernetes, but I wondered if that's the biggest difference between your project and theirs? Or maybe the C++ versus golang?
- Linux /proc/pid/stat parsing bugs
- Go based eBPF projects

Does mTLS add request latency due to ssl termination? Any best practices for performance?
eBPF solutions look cool though. I heard of https://px.dev/ which sounds similar to ciliums eBPF mesh recently.

Show HN: Alaz: Open-Source, Self-Hosted, eBPF-Based K8s Monitoring
The one similar product I had come across is Kubeshark (https://github.com/kubeshark/kubeshark). But admittedly the eBPF way seems more performant theoretically (given you can afford to have a modern-enough kernel). I'm really excited to see how this project develops out.
The eBPF-mode of innovation is pretty exciting, truly a fresh lens to building software. I'm also following Akita Software - the company building an eBPF paradigm of monitoring.

Can't make kubeshark work
Can you send us the logs using: `kubeshark logs` (you can also use the issues page or slack)

Diagnosing high Cloud NAT usage for a CI cluster
Yes there are, but Cloud NAT alone won't be able to help you with that. You can either use a standalone proxy or a 3rd party firewall appliance through which you can route your traffic, or use more modern approaches with tools such as Kubeshark or Cillium.

Monitoring service network traffic
https://github.com/kubeshark/kubeshark - somewhat like Wireshark for Kubernetes. LMK if you have any questions
