DOP 283: OpenTelemetry Meets Mobile
Posted on Wednesday, Oct 2, 2024
Show Notes
#283: Moving beyond the usual suspects in observability, today’s focus shifts towards mobile—a relatively unexplored domain for OpenTelemetry. The integration of OpenTelemetry with mobile applications opens new avenues for mobile app observability.
In this episode, Darin and Viktor talk with Austin Emmons from Embrace about the need for educating developers about the value of instrumentation and how OpenTelemetry can significantly aid in performance monitoring and diagnostic efforts for mobile applications.
