Package description

What is dd-trace?

The dd-trace npm package is a Node.js APM (Application Performance Monitoring) client for Datadog. It allows you to monitor the performance of your Node.js applications, providing insights into the runtime and helping you to diagnose and optimize your code.

What are dd-trace's main functionalities?

Tracing

This feature allows you to trace the execution of your application, marking and timing various operations within your code. You can tag spans with metadata and monitor the performance of individual requests or tasks.

const tracer = require('dd-trace').init();

// Instrument a function
tracer.trace('web.request', (span) => {
  // Do some work
  span.setTag('http.status_code', 200);
});

Automatic Instrumentation

dd-trace can automatically instrument popular libraries and frameworks such as Express, Koa, GraphQL, and many others. This means that you can get insights into how these libraries are performing without having to manually instrument code.

const tracer = require('dd-trace').init();

// Automatically instruments supported libraries
const express = require('express');
const app = express();

app.get('/', (req, res) => res.send('Hello World!'));
app.listen(3000);

Custom Tags and Metrics

You can add custom tags and metrics to your traces to provide additional context and granularity. This can be useful for filtering and searching through your traces in the Datadog APM interface.

const tracer = require('dd-trace').init();

// Add custom tags to a span
tracer.trace('web.request', (span) => {
  span.setTag('my_tag', 'my_value');
  span.setMetric('my_metric', 100);
});

Distributed Tracing

Distributed tracing allows you to trace requests as they move across different services and components in your system. This is essential for understanding the performance of microservices architectures.

const tracer = require('dd-trace').init();

// Continue a trace across asynchronous boundaries
async function part1() {
  return tracer.trace('part1', async () => {
    // Do something
  });
}

async function part2() {
  return tracer.trace('part2', async (span) => {
    // Do something else
    span.context().toTraceId();
  });
}

Getting Started

For a basic product overview, check out our setup documentation.

For installation, configuration, and details about using the API, check out our API documentation.

For descriptions of terminology used in APM, take a look at the official documentation.

Development

Before contributing to this open source project, read our CONTRIBUTING.md.

Requirements

Since this project supports multiple Node versions, using a version manager such as nvm is recommended.

We use yarn for its workspace functionality, so make sure to install that as well.

To get started once you have Node and yarn installed, run:

$ yarn

Testing

Before running the tests, the data stores need to be running. The easiest way to start all of them is to use the provided docker-compose configuration:

$ docker-compose up -d -V --remove-orphans --force-recreate
Unit Tests

To run the unit tests, use:

$ yarn test

To run the unit tests continuously in watch mode while developing, use:

$ yarn tdd
Memory Leaks

To run the memory leak tests, use:

$ yarn leak

Please note that memory leak tests only run on Node >=8.

Linting

We use ESLint to make sure that new code is conform to our coding standards.

To run the linter, use:

$ yarn lint

Continuous Integration

We rely on CircleCI 2.0 for our tests. If you want to test how the CI behaves locally, you can use the CircleCI Command Line Interface as described here: https://circleci.com/docs/2.0/local-jobs/

After installing the circleci CLI, simply run one of the following:

$ circleci build --job lint
$ circleci build --job node-leaks
$ circleci build --job node-core-8
$ circleci build --job node-core-10
$ circleci build --job node-core-12
$ circleci build --job node-core-latest

Benchmarks

When two or more approaches must be compared, please write a benchmark in the benchmark/index.js module so that we can keep track of the most efficient algorithm. To run your benchmark, just:

$ yarn bench
