Instant, script-driven full-cluster visibility (protocol traces, flame graphs, DB queries) with no code changes, data stored in-cluster for privacy, and a genuinely open-source CNCF sandbox core under New Relic stewardship

What would move Pixie up

Claude First-class long-term retention and alerting story so teams don't need to bolt on New Relic or export pipelines for anything beyond short-window debugging
Gemini Decouple the UI from New Relic's SaaS backend to allow a fully independent, open-source local troubleshooting dashboard.
Grok Add native long-term retention, built-in alerting, and historical analytics to function as a more complete standalone observability platform.
