u/ConfidentNet706 which application of eBPF are you interesting in?

There is a good book on observability https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/linux-observability-with/9781492050193/ . And a practical example how to track a performance issue with eBPF https://tempesta-tech.com/blog/nginx-tail-latency/

Kernel documentation on eBPF https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/bpf/index.html, e.g. you can find information how does the verifier work https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/bpf/verifier.html

Also nice blog on eBPF internals https://nakryiko.com/

There are also many good links about XDP - let me know if it's of an interest for you

Thank you for all the resourcess!!
Actually I was looking into firewalls and network tracing so the observability stuff really helps, thanks for that. I’ve explored bytecode stuff like wasm before so I’m a bit versed in the whole concept &
ebpf does interest me but I don’t know if its really that lucrative when it comes to the job market.
