As many of you know already, Tetragon is reaching v1.0 - being a huge milestone for the community, our users as well as the engineers who have been working on the development for years.

This talk's main aim is to walk through the history of Tetragon, and predict its future trajectory. Why was it created in the first place? How? What were the first production use cases? What were the security challenges users were facing? Where are they at now? What were the lessons we learnt through this rocket-propelled roller coaster journey? As an example, the audience will learn how we avoided some pitfalls that BPF-based Security applications fall into and solved critical performance challenges.

We’ll finish by presenting where the project is heading, what are the main goals and use cases we are aiming to achieve in the future.
