How to Use covdata for Better Go Code Coverage
When you run your Go programs or integration tests, numbers of raw coverage files are typically generated and dumped into a directory specified by the GOCOVERDIR environment variable. These files contain valuable data about which parts of your code were executed during tests, offering a glimpse into your code’s effectiveness and robustness. However, sifting through…

Decoding Network Traffic: Telemetry with Network Activity
Network Telemetry, in simple terms, is like having a conversation with machines or systems located far away. It’s about collecting data from these distant sources to better understand how they’re performing. Think of it as a health check-up, but for machines or systems instead of people. This technology plays a crucial role in a variety…

Using TC-BPF program to redirect DNS traffic in docker containers
The adoption of eBPF (Extended Berkeley Packet Filter) has revolutionized high-performance applications, tracing, security, and packet filtering within the Linux kernel. Specifically, TC-BPF, a type of eBPF program attached to the Traffic Control (TC) layer, has emerged as a powerful tool for packet manipulation in both ingress and egress. This blog delves into the practical…

Adding colour to the log output of logging libraries in Go
Logging is an integral part of software development, providing developers with valuable insights into the behaviour and performance of their applications. In the Go programming language, various logging libraries, such as the standard library’s log package or third-party options like logrus , zap and zerolog, facilitate the generation of log output. While the primary goal…
