Apitally - Metrics, logs, and alerts for Echo

[itssimon]

Hey Echo community,

When shipping APIs, as developers we need access to relevant logs and metrics to troubleshoot issues effectively and understand API usage/performance. However, I've found that most monitoring tools bury these in bloated dashboards that are a pain to use.

That's why I built Apitally, a simple API monitoring tool for Echo that focuses on what actually matters for APIs:

• Usage metrics (per endpoint and consumer)
• Error tracking (with stack traces)
• Performance monitoring
• Request logs + correlated application logs
• Uptime monitoring + alerts with Slack/Teams notifications

Apitally's open-source SDK integrates with Echo through middleware, which captures key metrics for all API requests & responses, aggregates them and asynchronously ships them to Apitally in regular intervals.

Setup is super easy. You just add a few lines of code to your app ⬇️

import (
    apitally "github.com/apitally/apitally-go/echo"
    "github.com/labstack/echo/v4"
)

func main() {
    e := echo.New()

    config := &apitally.Config{
        ClientId: "your-client-id",
        Env:      "dev", // or "prod" etc.
    }
    e.Use(apitally.Middleware(e, config))

    // ... rest of your code ...
}

If you'd like to try it out, there's a setup guide for Echo.
