What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-06-28

Track; not yet

Why
Continuous whole-system profiling as a fourth signal is strategically valuable and increasingly viable now that Pyroscope 2.0 ingests OTLP profiles natively, but Alpha spec status, development-path OTLP, and a work-in-progress reference profiler mean it is not yet production-dependable
Next
Run the eBPF profiler (via the OTel Collector distribution, not standalone) in a lab against representative Linux services to validate the <1% CPU / <250MB overhead claim and flamegraph quality; a real OTLP-native backend now exists (Pyroscope 2.0), so a sandbox end-to-end is feasible. Defer production wiring until the OTLP profiles spec drops the v1development suffix
