How to instrument your Battlesnake with New Relic

Battlesnake enthusiasts can enhance the performance of their digital snakes by using New Relic to monitor and analyze their Battlesnake's performance, server, and web application in real-time. The process involves creating a New Relic account and instrumenting the Battlesnake using Node.js or other programming languages supported by New Relic's extensive documentation. By setting up New Relic, users can create customizable dashboards that provide insights into their snake's performance, including metrics like competition status, survival rate, and server status. These insights enable users to optimize their snake's response times, track progress, and develop strategies against opponents. Additionally, New Relic offers various integrations and encourages users to share their projects on social media, while highlighting that the views expressed are those of the author and not the company.
