eBPF Kernel Probes & Mesh Graph

How Synapse extracts granular trace context directly from Linux socket buffers without language runtimes or bytecode injection.

01 // KERNEL PROBES

Non-Invasive Socket Interception

Traditional APMs require installing bulky SDKs in Python, Node.js, Go, or Java codebases, adding substantial memory overhead and potential crash risks. Synapse attaches directly to `sys_enter_connect` and `tcp_sendmsg` tracepoints inside the kernel.

  • Zero application binary recompilation
  • Sandboxed eBPF verifier guarantees safety
  • Supports encrypted mTLS payloads with kTLS parsing

02 // CAUSAL GRAPH

Dynamic Topological Graph Synthesis

When an outage strikes, engineers waste hours guessing which service failed first. Synapse computes an acyclic causal graph in real time, pointing directly to the offending database query or network partition before alerts flood Slack.

  • Graph neural network anomaly detection
  • Automated downstream blast-radius projection
  • Webhook integration with PagerDuty and OpsGenie
