Re:New Relic to open-source Pixie’s eBPF observability platform by justicezyx on Thursday December 10, 2020 @01:17PM (#25376591)
A few things:

* Non intrusive: meaning one can snoop info of application without changing application code.

* Deep visibility: function level and syscall/kernel functions reveal more context and are more accurate in a lot of cases.

* Low overhead: everything runs inside kernel space, no context switching compared to other kernel based/aided tracing.

* Expressiveness: eBPF is fairly expressive, can do many things that usually are exclusive to high level programming languages.
