The record

Purpose: Metoro continuously profiles Kubernetes workloads using an eBPF sampling profiler running at the kernel level.
Flame graphs: Interactive flame graphs can be aggregated by service, pod, or container and filtered by cluster, namespace, deployment, or Kubernetes label.
Overhead: The profiler samples at 97Hz per CPU core and is designed for less than 0.5% CPU overhead per node.
Languages: Metoro lists Go, Python, C++, C, Rust, Node.js, and Java as supported runtimes, with host-level frames for other runtimes.
Instrumentation: Profiling requires no SDKs, application code changes, language agents, restarts, or rebuilds.
Third-party workloads: The eBPF profiler can profile third-party containers and vendor workloads that the customer does not build.
Correlation: Profiles are connected to Metoro APM traces, logs, metrics, pod state, and deployment context.
Integrations: Metoro Cloud integrates with Slack, PagerDuty, Datadog, Grafana, webhooks, REST APIs, and OpenTelemetry.
Source control: The GitHub integration uses a GitHub App and can create pull requests with suggested fixes and GitHub issues from investigations.
Security: Metoro Cloud states SOC 2 Type II certification, TLS 1.3 in transit, AES-256 at rest, SSO/SAML 2.0, role-based access control, and immutable audit logs.
Support: The Scale plan includes support via Slack with Metoro engineers, while Enterprise includes 24/7 white-glove support and onboarding.
Kubernetes support: Metoro states support for EKS, GKE, AKS, OpenShift, Rancher, k3s, kind, and self-managed CNCF-conformant Kubernetes distributions; eBPF requires Linux kernel 4.18 or newer.
