The New Relic Go instrumentation series provides tips and best practices for instrumenting Golang applications faster. The series includes a workshop-style blog, videos, and hands-on labs to help developers understand the fundamentals of transactions and segments, which are crucial concepts in understanding Go integrations and examples.
