Functions

func DevInit

func DevInit()

DevInit is some crazy hackery to handle the fact that the beeline lib uses a singleton shared client that we cant simply guard with sync once, since we are not coordinating the calls to close. Instead we route the setup through here where we can create the provider once and coordinate the closes. Other Approaches: 1. We could protect beeline init (from the races) and then not close beeline in dev mode or sync once the close call but that would still mean doing something like this interceptor.

2. A stand alone development stack launcher of some sort. This would probably be the most correct in terms of running like production, but it adds some complexity to developer testing.

3. Instead of this mess we would have to implement beeline ourselves in a way that has a single client. we could do that and attempt to upstream the PR, but this is a fair amount of effort.

This small wrapper is only in the code init flow, and once seen and understood can be forgotten, so it was considered OK to keep for now.

If the coordinator is nil (for example if DevInit is not called as per production) then we immediately defer to the real setup

func Setup

func Setup(ctx context.Context, o Config) (context.Context, func(context.Context), error)

Setup is the primary entrypoint to initialise the o11y system both in development and production.

To support projects with monobinaries, DevInit can be called first.
