Run Fast! Catch Performance Regressions in eBPF with Rust

Discover how to implement continuous benchmarking in eBPF projects using Rust in this 30-minute conference talk. Learn to write a simple eBPF program, add benchmarks to client and kernel side code, and integrate continuous benchmarking into CI processes to detect and prevent performance regressions. Explore open-source tools for maximizing and maintaining project performance, covering topics such as eBPF basics, performance regression, eBPF Maps, Fizz Buzz implementations, micro and macro benchmarks, and statistical thresholds in continuous benchmarking.
