🤔 Did you know that mobile observability requires user session context that backend data can’t provide? When you are monitoring endpoints, you have little context about the users. 🫣 While a spike in latency or failures is an indicator that there’s a problem (e.g., an increase in 500s on a purchase endpoint), there are many questions that are difficult to answer by just looking at the backend data, such as: ❓ If your endpoint serves multiple clients (e.g., web and mobile), how are you isolating the impact to devices and users? ❓ Is a subset of users experiencing a large percentage of the total issues? ❓ How do you know what latency is acceptable? At what latency, and for which endpoints, do you see an impact on key business metrics? ❓ How will your backend monitoring surface issues that don’t involve a network failure, e.g., payload parsing issues on the client or duplicate, redundant network calls causing user-perceived latency even though the individual calls are within SLO bounds? Monitoring an endpoint as a source of truth for issues only tells part of the story. What really matters is what the app user experiences.

I just found out that there's no official survey data on the overlap of OTel fans and holiday sweater fans. Zilch. But fear not, we've got the best minds working on a solution. In fact, Hazel Weakly, Charity Majors, Adriana Villela, Daniel Gomez Blanco, and Hanson Ho found a way to bring this group together for joyous celebration, OTel education, and counting. See their solution in the comments.

Nelson Puglisi gave me a red and black Star Wars sweater a few years back with a Death Star. I thought it was beautiful. My wife thought it was an ugly sweater. (No offense Nelson.) Excited the team is given more "ugly" sweaters out to the #otel community. Sign up and join us and our friends at Dynatrace, honeycomb.io, Nivenly Foundation, and Skyscanner along with Hanson Ho for some fun.

🔭 Unlocking the power of OpenTelemetry for Android ANRs 📱 Application Not Responding (ANR) errors are a nightmare for mobile developers and users alike. These occur when the Android UI thread is blocked for over 5 seconds, leaving users frustrated (and apps at risk of bad reviews and lower store rankings). 😱 In a recent The New Stack article, Jamie Lynch, Software Engineer at Embrace, dives into: ✅ What ANRs are and why they’re critical to address. ✅ The challenges of capturing ANR telemetry on Android. ✅ How we modeled ANR data with OTel to simplify and enhance our observability capabilities. 📍 Read Jamie's full article here ➔ https://lnkd.in/g2gkrMaU #ANR #ANRs #OpenTelemetry #AndroidDevelopment  #OTel #MobileObservability #Mobile #DevOps #SRE #Observability #ModernObservability #MobileApps #opensource #SDK #Android #AppPerformance
