Is OpenTelemetry overkill? There's a lazier (and better) way. #speedscale #sre #ebpf #kubernetes

If you "aspire to be lazy" like we do, you know that building staging environments and mocking complex back-ends (like MySQL, AI models, and 3rd party APIs) is a massive time sink.

In this demo, we show you how to use Internet Magic (aka eBPF) to:

• Peek into binary protocols and turn MySQL gobbledygook into readable JSON.
• Capture request/response pairs directly from the network.
• Create production snapshots for debugging without impacting performance.
• Use AI as a "tennis partner" to help analyze your data.

Stay tuned for Part 2, where we take these recordings and spin up a staging environment automatically.
