# Simple Go app

A basic Golang app for demoing Golang APM. It's a very simple app that runs several endpoints to trigger specific APM scenarios (errors, spans, tags, errors etc)

## Running 

You need DD_API_KEY set in your shell environment. 

On OSX, consider https://github.com/sorah/envchain (eg. `envchain datadog docker-compose up --build -d`)

```

$ docker-compose down

$ docker-compose build

$ docker-compose up -d

$ curl http://localhost:8000/

```

It'll be running on [http://localhost:8000/](http://localhost:8000/) 

Check that the APM traces are showing in your Datadog org: ![image](https://github.com/petems/datadog-golang-apm-example/assets/1064715/4a02d3e8-1bf6-4e1d-be7c-64eca5de225c)

You can then hit the endpoints listed below

## Endpoints

Endpoints are defined in the `main.go` file:

* `/`: this endpoints returns a hello world, and generate a trace with no custom instrumentation.

* `/add-tag`: here, using custom instrumentation, we add a tag to the active span.

* `/set-error`: here we add an error on the current span. The error is made trying to read a file that does not exist.

* `/add-span`: we add a child span to the current one, using context, and then we add a new child with `ChildOf`.
