JankStats + bitdrift = 😍

Pre 🦃 week real-time observability treat. Early look at @bitdriftio time over time comparisons on workflow driven synthetic metrics. Keep in mind that all of this data is delivered on demand and can be altered or disabled in real-time.

[Matt Klein @mattklein123]

Real-time observability Tuesday: here is a teaser of a new feature we are working on at @bitdriftio, on-demand Sankey diagrams of user flows leading to specific outcomes. While other systems offer similar visualizations, what we are doing takes this functionality to a new level.

We went to DroidCon last month! It was great meeting customers and potential customers in person. Our head of of engineering, Miguel, gave a great talk on our session replay implementation. Video link inside the post. Check it out!

We just opened an Android engineer role. We are almost 100% Rust on the client. If you are interesting in doing low level mobile engineering this is an awesome opportunity!

[bitdrift @bitdriftio]

Stoked to launch our advanced charting capabilities including fleet-wide accurate histograms. These are amazing capabilities to add to your real-time observability toolkit. Come and get it!

@mattklein123 What about your new favorite language Rust?

[bitdrift @bitdriftio]

It's a privilege to be named in the @Redpoint InfraRed 100, standing alongside the 100 most promising private companies in cloud infrastructure. Onward on our path to redefining observability! 🚀

[Matt Klein @mattklein123]

This one has been in the works for a while. This may seem like "table stakes" for a traditional obs system, but building this on top of our dynamic platform while keeping costs low at scale was no easy feat. Go team! 🎉

[Matt Klein @mattklein123]

New post on why modern observability is so expensive.

For the FE folks, a deep dive on some of the cool stuff we have done to enable rendering huge sessions with hundreds of thousands of logs. Check it out!

https://t.co/ZzQKN64Hww is my recent find - avoids inevitable issues from blowing up in users face with an ugly stack trace and gives them a way to report the issue

[snowp @snowypeas]

@rustlang continues to impress me as we're using it for different use cases @bitdriftio. The language and libraries available makes it such a joy to write CLIs both for internal usage and for distributing tools to customers

[snowp @snowypeas]

This one was super fun to work on - especially seeing mobile engineers not believe their eyes that we could get live logs out of a running device in the wild.

[bitdrift @bitdriftio]

Excited to announce our newest feature: real-time telemetry streaming - a true mobile development super power!

Check it out and we look forward to your feedback! https://t.co/Yu92o4B3Cu

@mattklein123 In Norway we had a class that taught it briefly but it's not like we had to pass a test to prove that we could do it. I think they just had us open up a typing program a few times while a fairly tech-illiterate teacher tried their best to help

[snowp @snowypeas]

@mattklein123 More than touch typing I've found that keybinding everything makes a huge difference. tl;dr switch to (N)Vim :)

[Matt Klein @mattklein123]

Excited to share some of the technical details behind the @bitdriftio ring buffer. This is one of the most technically challenging things I have worked on (and I have worked on a lot of challenging stuff!). Enjoy!

[snowp @snowypeas]

Not only was this very challenging to work on, it's also such a great example of using fuzzing to make sure that both C++ and later on unsafe Rust works correctly, very cool!

[bitdrift @bitdriftio]

Just dropped a deep dive on the @bitdriftio ring buffer, the special sauce inside the Capture SDK. Get ready to nerd out. Enjoy!

Super excited to announce our newest product, Funnels! For the first time, it is now possible to perform funnel analysis in real-time, on demand, and without deploying any new code. We are excited for you to try it out and give us feedback! 🚀

[Matt Klein @mattklein123]

Check out out newest feature, Funnels. This is a very powerful example of what can be done with real-time dynamic configuration of telemetry, and we are just getting started!
