groundcover launched Caretta: an OSS tool which helps teams instantly create a visual network map of the services running in their cluster.
Caretta leverages eBPF technology to collect data in an efficient way and is equipped with a Grafana Node Graph dashboard to quickly display the dynamic map of the cluster.
The main idea behind creating Caretta is gaining a clear understanding of the inter-dependencies between the different workloads running in the cluster which is an otherwise very complicated task.
Caretta maps all service interactions and their traffic rates, leveraging Kubernetes APIs to create a clean and informative map of any K8s cluster which can be used for on-demand granular observability, cost optimization, and security insights, allowing teams to quickly reach impactful insights such as identifying central points of failure or pinpointing security anomalies.
Caretta is part of the mission of cloud-environment observability tools - APM is complemented by network tracing capabilities, and the aggregated data from these traces can help answer many critical questions. Carreta does that and fits those cases where you want a minimal, fast and ad-hoc solution that can help you right now.
