Golang Monitoring Guide - Traces, Logs, APM and Go Runtime Metrics

Golang (Go) applications are known for their high performance, concurrency model, and efficient resource use, making Go an easy choice for building modern distributed systems. But just because your Go application is built for speed doesn't mean it's running perfectly in production. When things go wrong, just checking if your service is "UP" isn't enough.

What is OpenTelemetry? [Everything You Need to Know]

Observability used to be a fragmented mess. You had one agent for logs, a different library for metrics, and a proprietary SDK for distributed tracing. If you wanted to switch vendors, you had to rewrite your instrumentation code from scratch. OpenTelemetry (OTel) fixed this. It has become the second most active project in the CNCF (Cloud Native Computing Foundation), right behind Kubernetes.

Introducing SigNoz's LLM-Powered Datadog Migration Tool

But migration is painful. Moving from Datadog means manually rebuilding dashboards, rewriting every query, and reconfiguring panels one by one. What took months to build takes weeks to migrate. Engineering teams get pulled away from actual product work to rebuild monitoring infrastructure they already had working. Critical monitoring setups and the context around why dashboards were built a certain way often get lost. We kept hearing about this from teams evaluating SigNoz, so we built a solution.

Beginner's Guide to OpenTelemetry & Django (2025)

Django is a popular open-source "batteries-included" Python web framework that enables rapid development while taking out much of the hassle from routine web development. By providing pre-built components like ORM integrations, authentication/authorization systems and more, it enables developers to focus on business logic and iterate fast. As such, developers and organizations worldwide use Django to build web apps of varying complexities.

Introducing Bits AI SRE, your AI on-call teammate

Bits AI SRE is your AI on-call teammate, built to autonomously investigate alerts and coordinate incident response. Integrated with Datadog, Slack, GitHub, Confluence, and more, Bits analyzes telemetry, reads documentation, and reviews recent deployments to determine the root cause of alerts—often before you’ve even opened your laptop. In fact, if you're using Datadog On-Call, you can view Bits’s findings right from your phone—so you’re always one step ahead, no matter where you are.

What to Expect When You Migrate to Atatus APM

With nearly 80% of companies facing costly downtime exceeding $300,000 per hour, robust APM solutions like Atatus are crucial. It helps teams quickly identify bottlenecks, optimize performance, and improve the customer experience through comprehensive, real-time insights.

The Hidden Cost of Untagged Cloud Resources for SMBs

Cloud computing is a powerful enabler of growth and agility for small and medium businesses (SMBs). However, untagged cloud resources are one of the primary challenges most SMBs face in cloud environments. These untagged resources lead to a lack of visibility and accountability over cloud spending, which leads to wasted budgets and cost overruns.

Data Observability: Build confidence in the data life cycle

Datadog Data Observability provides a complete solution with quality checks (e.g., volume, row changes, freshness), custom SQL-based monitors, anomaly detection, column-level lineage across systems like Snowflake and Tableau, full pipeline visibility, and targeted alerts when data issues arise.
