At Embrace, we've been excited about meeting and growing the OpenTelemetry specification for some time now. We also have a ton of domain-specific knowledge about how mobile telemetry should be collected and processed. This led to a decision point while rebuilding our mobile SDKs to emit OpenTelemetry primitives: how can we quickly inform the data ingest layer about the types of telemetry we're sending, to make its life easier?
Learn how the Embrace iOS team decided to open source versus build in public as well as what their CI/CD process is for delivering new SDK releases into the public repo.
