React Native developers rejoice! Embrace's React Native SDK is open source and now fully OpenTelemetry-compliant. So you'll get best-in-class, flexible tooling to monitor your React Native apps while still adhering to OTel data standards. You can even use the SDK to send out telemetry to any OTLP-HTTP endpoint without going through the Embrace backend or platform at all!
To understand how quickly end users can interact with your application screens, you can use spans and traces around key rendering events. Now, Embrace is making it easier than ever to do so by providing automatic instrumentation for screen rendering and interactivity, available for both Android and iOS.
Mobile telemetry is often delayed in reaching the servers, and your observability tooling. This can impact how alerts are interpreted, making it harder to see the real picture of your app's performance at any given time. Embrace's new enhanced alerting visualizations with delayed data are now here to help solve this issue.
Engineering teams use mobile SLOs to monitor user flows and ensure user-impacting issues are detected and resolved quickly. In this tutorial, we'll show you how to use Embrace, in combination with Grafana, to build and monitor mobile SLO for your app – from initial app instrumentation, all the way to connecting to backend dashboards and alerts.
Check out this RedMonk Conversation with Senior Analyst Kate Holterhoff and Embrace's Andrew Tunall as the pair discuss the growing need for mobile-specific SLOs in the observability space.
Any team can effectively adopt service-level objectives as part of their mobile observability strategy by following a few best practices.
