Apitally - API monitoring, analytics, and request logging for Chi

[itssimon]

Hey Chi community,

I’d like to introduce you to my indie product Apitally, a simple API monitoring, analytics, and request logging tool with a lightweight integration for Chi.

Apitally's key features are:

• Metrics & insights into API usage, performance, and errors, for the whole API, each endpoint and individual API consumers.
• Request logging allows users to find and inspect individual API requests and responses (fully configurable)
• Uptime monitoring & alerting notifies users of API problems the moment they happen, whether it's downtime, traffic spikes, errors or performance issues.

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. No infrastructure required.

import (
    apitally "github.com/apitally/apitally-go/chi"
    "github.com/go-chi/chi/v5"
)

func main() {
    r := chi.NewRouter()

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

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

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

Please let me know what you think!
