Austin, next week 🤠🍺 bitdrift & FavorDelivery are bringing together mobile engineers for a night of lightning talks and unlimited telemetry on tap. March 26 | Reserve your spot: buff.ly/G9LQpVD

Most mobile teams log for the crash and stay blind to the jank. Frame drops and silent failures damage ratings quietly. We wrote about which UX signals to log, and how to measure them without shipping a new release: buff.ly/dPYBxPt #MobileEngineering

Zuper went from stitching together crash and analytics tools to full on-device visibility across complex mobile workflows. Now they catch issues before they reach customers. Case study → buff.ly/7oniqez #MobileObservability

The bitdrift team is hosting the Mobile Engineering Summit on March 26 in Austin! 📍 Lightning talks, food & drinks, and a Q&A panel with bitdrift CTO Matt Klein and Favor Delivery CTO Steve Romney. Save your spot now: buff.ly/YwthYK2

📣 Announcing wide availability of bitdrift's Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) for AWS! Enterprise teams can now choose from 3 deployment options depending on data ownership and compliance needs. 🔗 Learn more: buff.ly/GkOoiJg #MobileObservability #MobileEngineering

🎙️ New episode of Beyond the Noise! Chick-fil-A's volume doesn't just stress the kitchen it stresses the tech stack. Brian Chambers (Chief Architect) built the answer: Kubernetes inside 3,500+ restaurants. 🎧 Worth your commute: buff.ly/WwGszFj

Mobile debugging bingo – vote with an emoji: 🎫 "Can you repro this?" 💥 Crash with no context 🎲 Edge case your sampled data missed ⏳ Waiting weeks to deploy new traces Which one costs you the most debugging time? #MobileDebugging

Migrating to bitdrift is easier than you think. Run it alongside your existing solution and migrate at your own pace – no performance compromise, no disruption to your users’ experience. See how it works step-by-step: 👇 #MobileObservability buff.ly/FstRd2X

bitdrift Session Replay reconstructs your app's user journey in 3D – lifecycle state changes, thread activity, network timing – driven by on-device telemetry. See how it works: buff.ly/GitVvEI #observability, #mobileobservability

Announcing histogram bar charts in bitdrift Capture! 📊 Visualize all percentiles of a histogram metric at once. 🔗 Learn how it works: buff.ly/ZP4TMGA #observability, #mobileengineering

If you've built an Android app in the last decade, you've almost certainly shipped Jesse Wilson's code to your users. 🎙️Our newest Beyond the Noise episode just dropped – tracing the open source decisions that shaped modern Android! 🎧 Listen now: buff.ly/e85xWKZ

How hard is it to add observability to an existing app? We instrumented the official Wikipedia app for Android – a mature production app with existing networking, custom logging, and production patterns. Step-by-step guide 👇 buff.ly/pRDQsBG

Your app is 99% crash-free. Great… but users happy? Slow checkouts, hanging searches, stuttering playback – p99 issues often invisible to dashboards but obvious in churn. 🔗 Read why crash reporting isn’t enough for mobile: #MobileObservability buff.ly/TPx7JGD

🎙️ New Beyond the Noise episode. From Flash & ActionScript to early Android at Uber, and now running one of the world's largest Flutter apps, Phil Rabin traces the evolution of mobile dev, and why many of the mobile problems from 2015 still exist today. 👇 buff.ly/P4s4zfE

Is OpenTelemetry the foundation for mobile observability? 🤔 Not alone. Mobile has unique constraints. The bitdrift approach: store on-device, retrieve sessions selectively, correlate with backend only when needed. ➡️ buff.ly/Sk28Gxb #OpenTelemetry, #MobileDev

🚩 New in bitdrift Capture: feature flag support! See which flags and variants were exposed when crashes occurred. Filter issues by experiment. Build workflows that match on specific feature flag states. Full details: buff.ly/Xo2swF2

🎙️ New Beyond the Noise episode! @mattklein123 talks with @GabrielSavit (Co-founder & CEO of Runway) on why mobile releases stay painfully manual, why checklists don't fix the chaos, and a surprising "automation paradox." Listen here: buff.ly/1zuFMqb

Read how bitdrift can capture real telemetry from your Godot projects. #RustLang, #GodotEngine buff.ly/ahv92De

The result? Godot support + a fully functional arcade machine 🎮

🕹️🧵 How we accidentally built an arcade machine. We simply wanted to add Godot support. Then some engineer said: "Let's use an old arcade cabinet, rewire it to a custom board, and hook it up to a Raspberry Pi". A few weeks later:
