Caretta is a lightweight standalone tool that uses eBPF to map all service network interactions in a Kubernetes cluster and visualizes them as a dependency map in Grafana. It installs via a Helm chart with bundled Victoria Metrics and Grafana instances, requiring no cluster modifications.
Use cases
- visualize kubernetes service dependency map
- discover which services talk to each other in my k8s cluster
- ebpf-based network observability for kubernetes
- map microservice network traffic into grafana
- find unknown service connections in a cluster
- monitor pod-to-pod network interactions
When to choose
- you want an instant, low-overhead service map for a Kubernetes cluster
- you already use Grafana and want network dependency data in it
- you need eBPF-based observability without modifying your workloads
When to avoid
- you are not running Kubernetes
- you need deep application-level tracing or APM rather than network-level service mapping
- you cannot deploy privileged eBPF agents on your nodes
