PostgresQL eBPF

This is a demo code, for showcasing Observability of the PostgreSQL protocol using eBPF. This code is inspired by Alaz, Kubernetes eBPF agent, developed by Anteon.

In order to try it out locally:

• Run eBPF program using

  go generate
  go build
  sudo ./postgres
  

• Run the PostgresQL Container using

  docker run --name postgres-container -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=mysecretpassword -d -p 5432:5432 postgres
  

• Run client inside /test using

  go run client.go
  

• In another shell, inspect eBPF program logs using

  sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_pipe
  

• To run performance evaluation, inside /perf directory run:

  go run measure.go
