It's Game Time at DevDays
summary
Installs and instruments a Python port of Dangerous Dave, wires it to New Relic APM for traces, logs and custom events, and imports a dashboard JSON that visualizes transactions like checkPlayerCollision, collected-item events and scores. Demonstrates manual SDK annotations, shows logs and custom events flowing into the UI (demo has occasional latency but data appears), explains an alternative pipeline using Open Telemetry, and claims New Relic scales to millions of datapoints per second as a managed telemetry backend.
