Helping Go teams implement OpenTelemetry: A new approach
Developers can instrument their Go applications quickly and easily using Helios OpenTelemetry (OTel), the emerging industry standard for application observability and distributed tracing across cloud-native and distributed architectures, is becoming an essential tool for Go developers. However, implementing OTel with Go to send data to observability platforms is hardly a straightforward process. At Helios, we’re […]
Trace-based Testing: Modern Testing for the Modern Infrastructure
Traditional software application infrastructure generally followed a monolithic pattern; one application connected to one database. Understanding what was going on inside the application itself was a simple proposition, with relevant logs and metrics all originating from the same source. When it came time to scale, the answer was to get a bigger server or to […]
A better developer experience: Applying observability to 3rd-party integrations
3rd party integrations can be tedious because of lack of visibility into behind-the-scenes processes. Here’s how to use 3rd-party integrations’ observability to identify errors fast, making development more efficient. 3rd party integrations are inevitable in development. Some functionality is outsourced as there is no need to develop something in-house that’s already working, while some […]
