General
GitHub describes using eBPF to detect and prevent circular dependencies in deployment tooling by per-process network filtering via cgroups, including DNS-based blocking to reroute queries through a DNS proxy for auditing. The post provides a practical PoC using cilium/ebpf and discusses outcomes like more stable deployments and faster MTTR.

Performance & Scalability
The article explains the memory wall phenomenon: CPU speed often outpaces memory bandwidth due to DRAM architecture and cache hierarchies. It uses the Aletheia experiments and the Roofline model to illustrate how memory access patterns, not raw compute, often limit performance, and it provides practical guidance on making data movement the focus of optimization.
