Embrace & Chronosphere partner to connect frontend and backend data, closing the gap between user experience and system performance

Freedom to choose best-in-class observability for mobile and web teams

Our partnership with Chronosphere makes Embrace the user-focused observability and RUM experts in a highly-composable observability stack. Using OpenTelemetry, the collaboration integrates Embrace’s mobile and web telemetry with Chronosphere’s backend performance data, providing a seamless workflow for mobile and web developers and SREs.

With this partnership, organizations gain full-stack observability with unparalleled visibility into user experiences, empowering developers to proactively prevent issues that reduce user engagement and increase churn. Experience modern observability with Embrace and Chronosphere for a comprehensive understanding of end-user impact and health.

Use open standards to unify instrumentation and workflows across platforms

Using Embrace and Chronosphere, engineers can connect critical mobile and web telemetry to data collected about their network, cloud services, and physical infrastructure. Combining the two creates end-to-end visibility across the system, including the users of your applications.

Embrace’s mobile SDKs first capture data from your end user’s devices, following the OpenTelemetry data model and standards. Data is processed through our core tech stack before being ready for querying in Chronosphere. Both metrics and traces that are forwarded directly to your Chronosphere instance are sent using the OpenTelemetry Protocol via HTTP.

With Embrace RUM integrated directly into Chronosphere, teams can:

  • Correlate frontend sessions with backend traces in a unified platform
  • Detect and resolve user-impacting issues before they affect revenue or reputation
  • Connect technical performance directly to user engagement and business outcomes
  • Build within a composable observability ecosystem that lets teams choose the right tools for each domain while maintaining unified system health and control

Reduce toil and visibility gaps without creating data silos across teams and products

Make mobile and web observability data an essential part of your business metrics and KPIs. For frontend developers who need deeper context, Embrace offers the industry’s most advanced troubleshooting products for mobile and web – User Journeys, session timelines, crash/ANR reporting, Core Web Vitals, and so much more. Connecting the perspective of the end-user with system performance on the backend lets you determine the business impact of unreliable networking, unintuitive user interfaces, and poor client-side integrations.
