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.

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.

Embrace's React Native SDK team created an OpenTelemetry-compliant instrumentation library for tracking navigation flows. Learn about the challenges, key decisions, and how you can use this instrumentation in your React Native apps today!

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.

Embrace's Data Destinations work by collecting data through the Embrace SDK, generating structured metrics, and transmitting them using OpenTelemetry. Learn how the Embrace engineering team built this system and how it addresses several key challenges in mobile metrics collection.
