    Trayce (https://github.com/evanrolfe/trayce_gui) is an open source desktop application which monitors HTTP(S) traffic to Docker containers on your machine. It uses EBPF to achieve zero-configuration sniffing of TLS-encrypted traffic. As a backend developer I wanted something which was similar to Wireshark or the Chrome network tab, but which intercepted requests & responses to my containers for debugging in a local dev environment. Wireshark is a great tool but it seems more geared towards lower level networking tasks. When I'm developing APIs or microservices I dont care…

    Hey HN! I’m Chris – one of the co-founders at Knock (https://knock.app). Knock is notifications infrastructure for developers. We provide a set of flexible API primitives you can use to power complex notification systems, without having to roll your own notifications infrastructure in-house. In short: we built notifications so you don’t have to. We learned about scaling notifications systems the hard way. Previously, my co-founder and I worked together at Frame.io, where we saw the upside of product notifications as well as the pain involved in building and maintaining them. With…

    Hi HN! I'm Mo, a platform engineer at Deltaflare working on critical infrastructure protection. I built Cerberus because traditional packet capture tools (tcpdump, Wireshark) have too much overhead for production CNI environments. eBPF lets us filter and classify packets at the kernel level with near-zero performance impact. Some interesting challenges: - eBPF verifier is strict - every memory access needs bounds checking - Limited to 32 bytes of L7 payload (tradeoff between inspection depth and overhead) - TC vs XDP decision (chose TC for compatibility) Looking for contributors, especially…
