Datadog has released version 1.0.0 of its Go tracer, which includes performance improvements, better compatibility with tracing standards, and a new API. The update also addresses long-term open issues and improves support for the community. Key features include distributed tracing, support for vendor-neutral tracing standards like OpenTracing and OpenCensus, and significant increases in performance when handling concurrent, high-traffic environments. A migration guide is available to help users upgrade from previous versions.
