bpftune is a daemon that uses eBPF observability to continuously monitor Linux system behavior and automatically adjust kernel tunables such as sysctl parameters. It tunes at a fine grain (per-socket, per-device), logs what it changed and why, and steps aside when administrators set values manually.

Use cases

• automatically tune Linux kernel sysctl parameters without manual configuration
• optimize TCP network performance on servers with no human admin access
• continuously adapt system tunables to changing workloads using eBPF observability
• replace static 'magic number' sysctl configs on cloud instances
• log and explain every tuning change made to the system

When to choose

• you run many unattended Linux servers ('cattle not pets') that need ongoing performance tuning
• you want zero-configuration auto-tuning with explicit logging of changes
• you need fine-grained tuning (per-socket, per-device) rather than system-wide static settings

When to avoid

• you need strict, deterministic kernel configurations that must never change automatically
• your kernel or environment lacks eBPF support
• you run non-Linux systems, as bpftune is Linux-only
