The text discusses how to introduce observability concepts and techniques using a game as an example, specifically the game "Dangerous Dave" created by John Romero. The author aims to show that observability can be fun and accessible, even for those without prior experience with monitoring and observability tools like New Relic. The blog post covers various aspects of custom instrumentation in Python, including registering the agent, instrumenting non-web transactions, sending log data, defining custom events, and displaying metrics on a dashboard using New Relic's query builder. By following these steps, readers can create their own custom solution for monitoring and observing an application, such as a game or a business application. The post concludes by emphasizing that learning about observability can be fun and encourages readers to take the next step of creating a free account with New Relic.
