Top 10 tips for instrumenting Golang with New Relic, part 2
Blog post from New Relic
The blog series aims to guide developers in efficiently instrumenting Golang applications using New Relic by offering tips, guidance, and best practices, which are usually presented in workshops but are now accessible via a blog series. It emphasizes the importance of understanding transactions and segments in Go integration, showcasing how to monitor web transactions and optimize performance by identifying bottlenecks. The series provides practical examples of instrumenting different segments such as datastore and external segments, using the New Relic Go agent API for adding custom attributes, and modularizing instrumentation, particularly in middleware, using the Gin framework. The blog is authored by Steve Ng, who focuses on developer experience and observability, and it encourages developers to explore further integrations and discussions on the New Relic platform.
