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

The New Relic team has updated their Ruby agent for auto-instrumentation to help developers identify and solve performance issues, collect and analyze business data, and make more data-driven decisions. The new version, 7.x series, includes changes such as ending support for Ruby 2.0 and 2.1, removing deprecated APIs, making prepend the default for auto-instrumentation, and providing consistent configuration attributes. To help users transition to the new agent, New Relic offers a certification program, documentation, and migration guides, as well as resources on how to get started with programmability and custom visualizations. The team encourages developers to join the conversation in the Explorer's Hub and subscribe to Nerdlog emails for weekly updates on features and releases.
