Embrace announced that its native iOS and Android SDKs are now built on OpenTelemetry.
The open-source, enterprise-supported SDKs combine Embrace's insights into mobile user experiences with transparent, portable, and extensible data collection.
This launch pairs Embrace's view on modeling user behavior with OpenTelemetry to better contextualize telemetry for user sessions. Engineers benefit from full visibility into mobile user experiences so they can resolve critical performance issues before they become widespread. With this release, anyone can use Embrace's iOS and Android SDKs to send logs and spans to any OTLP capable tracing and logging backend, with metrics support soon to follow.
Embrace collects the full technical and behavioral details of every user session, providing engineers with the necessary context to identify and resolve issues quickly. With this OTel solution, customers can also extend instrumentation to any custom library in their app and leverage Embrace's platform to contextualize the added instrumentation. This empowers engineers to explore insights and expedite issue resolution. Additionally, Embrace's instrumentation is compatible with any OTel backend, offering flexibility and ease of integration.
"We want to serve the thousands of engineers building incredible mobile apps that people rely on every day, and we look forward to the community collaboration that will come with shipping open-source, standards-based SDKs," said Andrew Tunall, Chief Product Officer at Embrace. "We want to advance how the community thinks about modeling both programmatic and human-driven behavior in mobile apps. By standardizing mobile data collection and instrumentation through OTel, we can help engineers move faster and understand their valuable users."
Teams seeking OTel-compliant tooling that's built for mobile will gain the following with Embrace:
- Mobile telemetry built with the user in mind: Mobile teams require context-aware mobile telemetry. With Embrace, they can capture signals that are critical for maintaining a highly performant mobile app – like crashes, errors, ANRs (Application Not Responding), performance traces, memory issues, and full user sessions – modeled in OTel data types of spans and logs.
- Portable, vendor-agnostic data: Embrace collects critical mobile app signals. Teams have full control over where to send that data, whether to Embrace's dashboard for advanced mobile insights, or to another observability stack. Embrace's OpenTelemetry distribution comes with instructions to pair with an OTLP exporter that can send data to any OTel backend.
- Enterprise-ready and commercially supported tech: Embrace delivers the flexibility of an open source product with the reliability of a commercially supported one. Open source SDKs give engineers transparency and extensibility, while Embrace's data backend and analysis platform is enterprise-supported for confidence in the adoption of secure and reliable observability software.
Embrace's open source OpenTelemetry SDKs are available on GitHub now.
