Want to see Newrelic Instrumentation ?

Supply the below environment variables with valid values and start the service. Thats all.

• NEW_RELIC_LICENSE_KEY

For example:

export NEW_RELIC_APP_NAME=hello-universe
export NEW_RELIC_LICENSE_KEY="YOUR VALID NEWRELIC INGEST LICENSE KEY"
go build -o server && ./server

Headover to Newrelic and find the application in "APM" screen.

Create a Git Tag

Whenever a new release/tag has to be created, just update version.go and push it to main branch. A github workflow is already configured that creates the actual (git) tag, which will be available in https://github.com/none-da/hello-universe-go-app/tags page.

For now Github release creation is still manual.

Create a Docker Image

Whenever a new tag is created (using the above mentioned steps), a github workflow automatically kicks-in, builds the docker images and pushes to Dockerhub.
