# Supported technologies
This page describes the technologies supported by the Elastic APM Go agent.
If your favorite technology is not supported yet, you start a conversation in the [Discuss forum](https://discuss.elastic.co/c/apm).
If you would like to get more involved, take a look at the [contributing guide](https://www.elastic.co/elastic/docs-builder/docs/2747/reference/apm/agents/go/contributing).

## Go

The Elastic APM Go agent naturally requires Go. We support the last two major Go releases as described by [Go’s Release Policy](https://golang.org/doc/devel/release.md#policy):
Each major Go release is supported until there are two newer major releases. For example, Go 1.5 was supported until the Go 1.7 release, and Go 1.6 was supported until the Go 1.8 release.

## Web Frameworks

We support several third-party web frameworks, as well as Go’s standard `net/http` package. Regardless of the framework, we create a transaction for each incoming request, and name the transaction after the registered route.

### fasthttp

We support [valyala/fasthttp](https://github.com/valyala/fasthttp), [v1.26.0](https://github.com/valyala/fasthttp/releases/tag/v1.26.0) <= v1.69.0.
See [module/apmfasthttp](/elastic/docs-builder/docs/2747/reference/apm/agents/go/builtin-modules#builtin-modules-apmfasthttp) for more information about fasthttp instrumentation.

### httprouter

[julienschmidt/httprouter](https://github.com/julienschmidt/httprouter) does not use semantic versioning, but its API is relatively stable. Any recent version should be compatible with the Elastic APM Go agent.
See [module/apmhttprouter](/elastic/docs-builder/docs/2747/reference/apm/agents/go/builtin-modules#builtin-modules-apmhttprouter) for more information about httprouter instrumentation.

### Echo

We support the [Echo](https://echo.labstack.com/) web framework, [v3.3.5](https://github.com/labstack/echo/releases/tag/3.3.5) <= v3.3.10 for v3.x and >= v4.0.0 <= v4.15.0 for v4.x.
We provide different packages for the Echo v3 and v4 versions: `module/apmecho` for Echo v3.x, and `module/apmechov4` for Echo v4.x.

## Databases


### database/sql

We support tracing requests with any `database/sql` driver, provided the driver is registered with the Elastic APM Go agent. Spans will be created for each statemented executed.
When using one of the following drivers, the Elastic APM Go agent will be able to parse the datasource name, and provide more context in the spans it emits:
- [lib/pq](https://github.com/lib/pq) (PostgreSQL)
- [jackc/pgx](https://github.com/jackc/pgx) (PostgreSQL)
- [go-sql-driver/mysql](https://github.com/go-sql-driver/mysql)
- [mattn/go-sqlite3](https://github.com/go-sqlite3)

See [module/apmsql](/elastic/docs-builder/docs/2747/reference/apm/agents/go/builtin-modules#builtin-modules-apmsql) for more information about database/sql instrumentation.

### GORM

As with `database/sql` support we provide additional support for the postgres, mysql, and sqlite dialects.
We provide different packages for the Gorm v1 and v2 versions: `module/apmgorm` for Gorm v1.x, and `module/apmgormv2` for Gorm v2.x
See [module/apmgorm](/elastic/docs-builder/docs/2747/reference/apm/agents/go/builtin-modules#builtin-modules-apmgorm) or [module/apmgormv2](/elastic/docs-builder/docs/2747/reference/apm/agents/go/builtin-modules#builtin-modules-apmgorm) for more information about GORM instrumentation.

See [module/apmgopg](/elastic/docs-builder/docs/2747/reference/apm/agents/go/builtin-modules#builtin-modules-apmgopg) for more information about go-pg instrumentation.

### Cassandra (gocql)

[GoCQL](https://gocql.github.io/) does not have a stable API, so we will provide support for the most recent API, and older versions of the API on a best-effort basis. Spans will be created for each query. When the batch API is used, a span will be created for the batch, and a sub-span is created for each query in the batch.
See [module/apmgocql](/elastic/docs-builder/docs/2747/reference/apm/agents/go/builtin-modules#builtin-modules-apmgocql) for more information about GoCQL instrumentation.
