Elevator Pitch

With the advent of micro-services, dozens of releases per day, metrics are the bread and butter for a successful real-time technology platform like OlaCabs. This talk discusses instrumenting a golang project using ‘go-metrics’ and write log analyzers for non-golang projects for emitting metrics.
