Instead of DeepFlow

DeepFlow alternatives

DeepFlow brings together a universal service map, distributed tracing, and continuous profiling for complex cloud infrastructure and cloud-native applications. Its eBPF collection covers performance metrics, traces, and profiling data, while built-in parsing spans protocols such as HTTP, gRPC, Kafka, and DNS. AutoTagging connects telemetry to cloud and Kubernetes resources and CMDB business tags, and SQL, PromQL, and OTLP interfaces support integrations with Prometheus, OpenTelemetry, SkyWalking, and Pyroscope.
