Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

BuffTracer

A Datadog wrapper library to enable DD APM and tag API traces

Getting Started

Install npm package

npm install --save-exact @bufferapp/bufftracer

Initialize tracer at the start of the service

This should be the first import in your index.tsfile.

import '@bufferapp/bufftracer'

Declare the following required env variables in the helm charts of each service

  // core-api.yaml

  - name: DD_TRACING_ENABLED
    value: 'true'
  - name: DD_SERVICE_NAME
    value: 'core-api'
  - name: DD_TRACE_AGENT_HOSTNAME
    valueFrom:
      fieldRef:
        fieldPath: status.hostIP
  - name: DD_TRACE_AGENT_PORT
    value: '8126'
  - name: NODE_ENV # or APP_STAGE
    value: production

What it does

The library parses the incoming request, generates metadata, sets DD resource name to be the edge/endpoint and tags the DD span with the metadata.

API metadata format

type APIRequestMetadata = {
  name: 'core-api' | string
  type: 'graphql' | 'rpc' | 'rest'
  client: 'buffertools-graphql-playground' | string
  edge: string
  fields: Array<string>
  deprecatedFields: Array<string>
  args: Array<string>
}

Datadog APM tag

The DD APM tags are then used to generate DD custom metrics named api.request, which we can use to build dashboard and know who is consuming which parts of our API.

Migration guide

The version 1.0.0 contains breaking changes. In order to upgrade you need to make the following changes in your application:

  • Requires Node.js version v18 or greater
  • Change the environment variable DD_ENABLE_TRACING to DD_TRACING_ENABLED
