Nerdlog Roundup: Use Prepend Auto-Instrumentation with Ruby 7.0 and Earn Your Developer Certification

New Relic has updated its Ruby agent to version 7.0 to improve auto-instrumentation, ending support for Ruby 2.0 and 2.1, and removing deprecated APIs to streamline performance monitoring and enhance data consistency. The update includes new features like the adoption of the W3C Trace Context and Infinite Tracing for distributed tracing, while making prepend the default for auto-instrumentation. New Relic also offers a certification program to help users maximize the potential of New Relic One, encouraging the creation of custom applications and visualizations through its open-source integrations and tools. The company emphasizes its commitment to open observability and offers resources such as documentation and a migration guide to assist users in transitioning to the new Ruby agent version.
