Tools 81. Pixie Assess Pixie is an observability tool for Kubernetes native applications. It takes an interesting approach toward observability by leveraging eBPF to automatically collect telemetry data from multiple data sources. Collected telemetry data is stored locally in each node and processed centrally via its control plane API. Overall, we find Pixie worthwhile to assess for observability in the Kubernetes ecosystem. 82. Tabnine Assess Tabnine is a contender in the currently busy space of coding assistants. It provides in-line code completion suggestions and a chat directly in the IDE. Similar to GitHub Copilot, Tabnine has been around since before the current hype cycle and is therefore one of the more mature products in the space. Unlike Copilot, it uses a model that is only trained on permissively licensed code and offers a version to self-host for organizations that worry about sending their code snippets to a third- party service. Tabnine is available as a limited free version as well as a paid version, which has more comprehensive suggestions and also offers a mode with a local (albeit less powerful) model that you can use without internet connection. © Thoughtworks, Inc.
