Observability teams often ask why we don’t show monolithic traces for issues like slow startups. While they theoretically reveal all services involved, they’re hard to interpret, and distract from what’s critical: the mobile experience context.
Embrace combines open-source SDKs with an analysis dashboard to help the entire engineering team understand exactly what is disrupting mobile user experiences.
Check out what's new with Embrace's User Timeline and User Sessions pages. We've introduced some upgrades that enrich the data and filtering capabilities of these two features, providing even better context and customization capabilities for engineers who want deep insight into their end users' mobile experiences.
Logs are an invaluable tool for detecting and investigating all kinds of events in the application lifecycle. Sometimes, however, a standard record of a log is not enough. That's why we at Embrace have been working steadily to provide data enrichment features specifically for logs. The latest of these is our logs attachment capability, which allows engineers to attach different file types of up to 1 MB in size to log records, adding a layer of context for improved diagnostics and troubleshooting.
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.
Watch this OpenTelemetry expert panel to learn about the most loved (and hated) parts of everyone’s favorite observability framework. And to play “Fling, Marry, Kill” with logs, metrics, and traces.
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.
OpenTelemetry can be a powerful tool for observing mobile apps. Read along as we use the OTel-Swift SDK to trace app activity from disparate parts of an iOS code base.
