Implementation of an eBPF memory profiler has helped us halve the memory usage

What is TezEdge[1]? At first glance appears to be a performance monitor for "Tezos"[0], a “Liquid Proof-of-Stake”[2, 3] blockchain. However, its github repo[4] calls it an implemention of "a secure, trustworthy and open-source Tezos node in Rust.".

Tezos seems to have a pretty strong presence on both Medium and Twitter.

Usage of an existing, portable and safe memory profiler, like dTrace or cachegrind would have been easier, faster and cheaper.
