• Systing 1.0 Released For Rust-Based eBPF-Based Tracing Tool Leveraging AI Josef Bacik, of Btrfs notoriety before leaving Meta and stepping back from kernel development last year, announced the release of Systing 1.0. • Systing is a newer eBPF-tracing tool for Linux complete with AI integration. • Systing began as a tool to generate Perfetto traces of the system while now with Systing 1.0 has developed a “new AI identity.” Rather than manually creating scripts to analyze traces, Josef is now leveraging AI with the likes of Claude Code for making this tool more powerful. • He’s also adapted Systring to using DuckDB databases rather than Perfetto traces to make it easier to query the data. • Systring 1.0 is able to feed the DuckDB-based traces into Claude Code for analysis and anaswering questions in real time about the data. • Systing has been used to improve the performance of a networking application as a case study as well as debugging a performance regression.
