Support for Go

New Relic has givens details of its expanded support for monitoring multi-language development environments and modern applications using the Go programming language (or Golang). With the addition of Go, New Relic has the broadest agent coverage, supporting seven programming languages out of the box including Java, .NET, Node.js, PHP, Python, and Ruby. This continues the company’s leadership in delivering polyglot application performance monitoring (APM) for cloud and microservices architectures.

Originally developed within Google, Go is an open source programming language that has become an increasingly popular option for companies looking to move to cloud and microservices architectures. Golang’s concurrency model, simple deployments, and runtime efficiency enable applications to scale elegantly, and help companies increase the velocity of deployments and ultimately innovate faster. Analyst firm RedMonk reported in their bi-annual 2016 RedMonk Programming Language Rankings (January 2016) that Go has risen significantly in popularity and ranked 15th at the end of 2015.

As Go is adopted by companies to modernize services written in other languages or build new applications, these companies want the same level of production visibility into their Go applications as they currently have with applications built with other programming languages. With New Relic’s support for Go, developers can get started quickly instrumenting and monitoring their applications with New Relic APM. As with New Relic’s other language agents, with just a few lines of code, a Go application will report runtime metrics, transaction tracing, and other real-time metrics vital for software teams to understand the health and performance of that application.
