Go Error Tracking for Gin, Echo, Fiber, net/http

Supported Go frameworks and libraries

Because Telebugs is fully compatible with the official Sentry Go SDK, it works with the entire Sentry Go ecosystem out of the box.

• Standard Go — Any net/http or custom server. Initialize the SDK early in main.
• Gin — Use the sentrygin integration for automatic request context.
• Echo — sentryecho for Echo framework support.
• Chi, Fiber, and others — Standard middleware patterns work with minor adaptation.
• Any Go application — CLI tools, workers, gRPC services, or cloud functions. Just init the SDK with your Telebugs DSN.

For the complete and up-to-date list of supported integrations, see the Sentry Go documentation. The integration code is identical when sending data to Telebugs.

Where Go production errors hide

Go services often fail at the edges: HTTP middleware, goroutines, worker pools, queues, cron-like jobs, gRPC handlers, CLI commands, and small internal automation tools. Logs can tell you that something happened, but they do not always show which deploy introduced it, how many users were affected, or whether similar stack traces are part of the same issue.

Telebugs gives those errors one focused place to land. You can group related stack traces, inspect request and job context, see when a regression started, and decide whether the fix belongs in code, configuration, data cleanup, or alert routing.

• HTTP and API failures from net/http, Gin, Echo, Fiber, Chi, and custom middleware.
• Concurrent execution failures from goroutines, worker pools, async jobs, and queue consumers.
• Service-to-service failures from gRPC handlers, webhook receivers, background syncs, and integrations.
• CLI and automation failures from release tasks, importers, migrations, reporting jobs, and internal tools.

For small teams, that focus matters: you get error tracking, grouping, and actionable notifications without adopting a large observability stack just to answer "what broke?"

Easy install for Go teams

Telebugs itself is designed to be trivial to run on your own infrastructure.

If you can run a single terminal command, you can set up Telebugs. The whole process takes less than 10 minutes for most people. Once it’s running, you point your Go apps at it and start capturing real production errors.

See the installation guide for Docker, systemd, and other deployment options. It works great on small VPS instances and ARM hardware.

How to integrate Telebugs with Go

Use the official github.com/getsentry/sentry-go package. The only difference from Sentry is the DSN.

go get github.com/getsentry/sentry-go

Initialize it early in your application (typically in main, before starting your server):

import (
	"github.com/getsentry/sentry-go"
)

func main() {
	err := sentry.Init(sentry.ClientOptions{
		Dsn: "https://your-telebugs-instance.com/api/v1/sentry_errors/1234",
		// Enable performance monitoring if needed
		// TracesSampleRate: 1.0,
	})
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalf("sentry.Init: %s", err)
	}
	// ...
}

For framework-specific extras, use the corresponding package:

go get github.com/getsentry/sentry-go/gin

Then use the middleware (see the Sentry Go Gin docs for examples). The integration works identically with Telebugs.

Once set up, Telebugs can capture panics and errors through the SDK integrations and middleware you choose, and you can add manual breadcrumbs, tags, and user context exactly as you would with Sentry.

Full options are documented in the Sentry Go docs. Everything works the same with Telebugs.

Go error context worth capturing

A Go stack trace shows where execution failed. The surrounding context tells you whether the error affected one background job, one customer account, a whole API route, or a freshly deployed service.

• Environment and release so production, staging, preview, and canary deploys stay separated.
• Route, method, status, and request identifiers for API services and webhooks.
• User, account, or tenant identifiers when they help support and engineering understand impact.
• Queue names, worker names, job IDs, and retry counts for background processing.
• Feature flags, dependency names, and integration tags for services that talk to payment, auth, email, or storage providers.

Because Telebugs is self-hosted, you can capture useful debugging context while keeping control of privacy, retention, and sensitive-data scrubbing.

Background tasks and concurrency

Go teams often use goroutines, workers, or queues like Asynq or Machinery. Telebugs captures errors from these when you use the Sentry Go SDK with proper context propagation.

Errors that occur in goroutines or background jobs are reported with the same rich context as HTTP handlers. Use sentry.WithScope or pass the hub for isolation. This is especially valuable for long-running services where issues are hard to reproduce locally.

See the Sentry Go docs for concrete examples with goroutines and workers.

Production checklist for Go error tracking

A useful Go error tracking setup does not need to be complicated. The important part is deciding what should be captured before an incident, then keeping noisy services from drowning out errors that need attention.

• Initialize the SDK early in each service, worker, or CLI entry point that can fail in production.
• Use release names during deploys so a new panic or error can be tied to a concrete build.
• Pass the right hub, scope, or context when errors cross goroutine and worker boundaries.
• Scrub tokens, cookies, headers, payloads, and customer secrets before they become part of an event.
• Send urgent production errors to the right channel, and keep expected retry noise out of the main alert stream.

Telebugs is built for this kind of pragmatic setup: low resource usage, simple upgrades, and a focused error inbox that does not ask your team to operate a full Sentry clone. See the low-resource deployment guide if you want to keep the server footprint modest.

AI-friendly Go debugging with MCP

Telebugs supports MCP, which makes it easier for AI tools that speak the Model Context Protocol to inspect error data without you copying stack traces by hand. For Go teams, that can mean faster investigation of panics, stack frames, breadcrumbs, tags, release metadata, and affected routes.

The useful version of AI debugging is quiet and controlled: your source of truth stays in Telebugs, your sensitive data rules still apply, and an assistant can help reason about a production issue from the same structured context your team already captured. See MCP error tracking for the broader workflow.

Releases and artifacts for Go

Go stack traces are usually readable, but using releases still gives you valuable context: which version introduced a regression, the ability to associate errors with deploys, and clearer debugging in production.

Use the Sentry CLI or the releases API to create releases during your deployment process (e.g., with go build and version info). See the releases and sourcemaps guide for details.

What you gain with Telebugs for Go

Go developers using Telebugs typically highlight:

• Strong default grouping that works well for Go stack traces and reduces duplicate noise.
• Flexible notifications (email, push, Slack, Discord, Teams, webhooks) with rules so you only get paged for real problems.
• Full control over data retention and the ability to run completely offline.
• Predictable one-time cost instead of per-event billing that can explode with high-traffic APIs or background jobs.
• Simple operation: one container, low resource usage, easy to keep updated.

You keep the excellent Sentry Go SDK developer experience while running a much lighter server-side system.

Frequently asked questions about Telebugs and Go

Does Telebugs work with goroutines and background jobs?

Yes. When you use the Sentry Go SDK with proper hub/scope propagation, errors raised in goroutines or background workers are reported automatically with the surrounding context.

Can Telebugs track Gin, Echo, and Fiber errors?

Yes. Go web frameworks can use the official Sentry Go SDK integrations or middleware patterns and send events to Telebugs by changing the DSN to your Telebugs endpoint.

Can I use Telebugs with any Go version?

Telebugs is compatible with the Go versions supported by the official Sentry Go SDK. Check the Sentry Go docs for the exact version matrix used by your application.

Do I get the same context as Sentry?

Yes for core error tracking. You receive the full stack trace, local variables (when enabled), request data, breadcrumbs, tags, user info, and extras. Features that are outside pure error tracking (such as full performance tracing or session replays) are not part of Telebugs’ scope.

Can AI tools inspect Go errors through MCP?

Yes. Telebugs MCP support lets compatible AI tools inspect structured error context from Telebugs, including Go stack traces and event metadata, while keeping your server as the source of truth.

How do I handle sensitive data in Go errors?

Use the Sentry Go SDK’s BeforeSend or other scrubbing options, or Telebugs’ server-side sensitive data scrubbing rules. You stay in full control because everything runs on your infrastructure.
