Qtap is an eBPF agent designed to capture and analyze traffic within the Linux kernel, providing insights into egress traffic without modifying applications or managing certificates. It enables security audits, debugging, API development, and troubleshooting by displaying unencrypted data and operational metrics in real time. The project is in early development and welcomes community feedback and contributions.

Dynatrace has introduced the Live Debugger, a cloud-native tool designed to enhance debugging in production environments by providing real-time access to code-level data without disrupting operations. This tool allows developers to quickly troubleshoot issues by setting non-breaking breakpoints and collecting debug data, improving efficiency and reducing reliance on traditional debugging methods. Live Debugger is currently in preview and aims to support modern development challenges with a focus on security and observability.
