The eBPF Foundation has published a glossy document called The
State of eBPF; it seems mostly concerned with how a small number of
large companies are using and developing this technology.

No doubt, eBPF will become the new layer in the new cloud native
infrastructure stack, impacting the observability, performance,
reliability, networking, and security of all applications,
supporters say. Platform engineers will cobble together
eBPF-powered infrastructure building blocks to create platforms
that developers then deploy software on, adding business logic to
the mix, and replacing aging Linux kernel internals that cannot
keep up with today’s digital and, increasingly, cloud native world.
