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.
Watch this OpenTelemetry expert panel to learn about key advancements in the space and what’s on the horizon for 2025. And to see cool holiday sweaters.
OpenTelemetry is a powerful observability framework that can help engineers monitor and resolve common Android performance issues. We'll dive into a few of these issues, with instrumentation samples, below.
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.
Background services and background threading are a vital part of any mobile application, but they can also be a source of crashes and other issues. To ensure the smooth operation of background services and threads, monitoring and analyzing their performance using metrics is essential.
Learn key challenges in measuring mobile app performance and why you need a different approach than the metric percentile approach used for backend systems.
