RedBPF is a Rust eBPF toolchain consisting of libraries and a cargo subcommand for writing, building, and loading eBPF programs. It provides idiomatic Rust APIs for both kernel-side BPF probes and userspace loaders with support for many BPF map and program types.

Use cases

• write eBPF kernel probes in Rust
• load eBPF programs and access BPF maps from userspace
• attach kprobes, uprobes, tracepoints, or XDP programs
• stream perf events asynchronously to userspace
• generate Rust bindings from kernel headers or vmlinux BTF
• build eBPF programs with a cargo subcommand

When to choose

• you want to develop eBPF programs entirely in Rust
• you need a userspace loader with async perf event streams
• you want declarative macros for defining BPF maps and probe programs

When to avoid

• you need a cross-platform eBPF solution (Linux only)
• you prefer C-based tooling like libbpf or BCC
• you need actively maintained releases (last release mid-2023)
