Announcing Go tracer v2.0.0


Summary

The Orchestrion article introduces a new Go tool that performs compile-time auto-instrumentation, meaning it adds observability code (like tracing and metrics) directly into your Go binaries during compilation – without requiring code changes or runtime flags. This approach drastically improves performance and reduces overhead compared to traditional runtime instrumentation, making it ideal for production environments where minimizing latency is critical. Essentially, Orchestrion aims to make observability a seamless and efficient part of the Go development process.
