BumbleBee is a CLI tool ('bee') that builds, runs, and distributes eBPF programs as OCI images, automatically generating the userspace components to expose program data as metrics or logs. It lets developers focus on writing eBPF C code while handling packaging and distribution from cloud registries to the Linux kernel.
Use cases
- run an eBPF program with a single command
- package eBPF programs as OCI images
- build and distribute eBPF observability probes
- monitor TCP connections with eBPF
- auto-generate metrics and logs from eBPF programs
- share eBPF tools via container registries
When to choose
- you want to write eBPF programs without building userspace plumbing yourself
- you need to distribute eBPF programs as OCI images
- you want quick kernel-level observability on Linux
When to avoid
- you are not on Linux (eBPF requires kernel support)
- you need full low-level control over eBPF loading and userspace integration
- you need a cross-platform observability agent
