Kebe Liu is a 技术专家 with 11 years of experience specializing in service mesh, Kubernetes, Istio, eBPF, WASM, and Envoy, based in Shanghai. As initiator of the Merbridge project and a key contributor to istio/istio, he blends deep systems programming with pragmatic DevOps work—fixing control plane issues, improving istioctl, and building eBPF programs for high-performance packet redirection. At DaoCloud he led the service mesh product efforts, owning integrations from CNI and DNS proxying to operator manifest generation and install flows. His profile shows both low-level kernel-space proficiency and cloud-native product engineering, enabling measurable performance gains in production networking. That combination of control-plane debugging and BPF-based data-plane acceleration is a distinguishing strength that helps bridge platform reliability and runtime efficiency.
Use eBPF to speed up your Service Mesh like crossing an Einstein-Rosen Bridge.
