A New Home for bpftop

I created bpftop at Netflix in early 2024 as a command-line tool for monitoring eBPF programs in real time. It was released under the Apache 2.0 license on the Netflix GitHub org, and it quickly gained adoption in the eBPF and Linux communities, getting coverage from LWN.net, InfoQ, and The New Stack. It’s now packaged in 19 Linux distributions including Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, Arch Linux, and NixOS.

I recently left Netflix to join Anthropic, and as part of that transition, I worked with Netflix’s legal team to transfer ownership of the repository to my personal GitHub account. I’m deeply grateful to Netflix for supporting the transfer.
