Transparent Telemetry

Posted on Wednesday, February 8, 2023.

These are the posts in the February 2023 “Transparent Telemetry” series:

• “Transparent Telemetry for Open-Source Projects” [PDF].
• “The Design of Transparent Telemetry” [PDF].
• “Use Cases for Transparent Telemetry” [PDF].

A (now closed) GitHub discussion about adding transparent telemetry to Go is at https://go.dev/s/telemetry-discussion. Note that at the start of the discussion the design was opt-out, but the final design, as a result of that discussion and other conversations, is opt-in. Thanks to the community for the constructive feedback.

There is one followup post:

• “Opting In to Transparent Telemetry” [PDF].

My GopherCon 2023 talk also talked about Go telemetry.
