🎙️ 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 of 3,500+ restaurants – one of the industry's largest edge computing deployments.

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 with @swank.ca just dropped – tracing the open-source decisions that shaped modern Android!
🎧 Listen today:
Your app is 99% crash-free. Great… but are users happy?
Slow checkouts, hanging searches, stuttering playback – p99 issues often invisible to dashboards but obvious in churn.
🔗 Check out our new post on the gap between crash-free rates and actual user experience:
Is OpenTelemetry the foundation for mobile observability? Not really. 🔍
OTel standardizes telemetry, but mobile has unique constraints. bitdrift stores telemetry on-device, retrieves only what matters, correlates with backend traces when investigation requires it. ⚡

🚩 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: blog.bitdrift.io/post/announc...
🎙️ New Beyond the Noise episode alert!
Hear Gabriel Savit, Co-founder & CEO of Runway, on why mobile releases stay painfully manual, why checklists don’t fix release chaos, and a surprising “automation paradox".

bitdrift now supports issue triaging:
- Assign issues directly
- Set a status for any issue
-Track which app version includes a fix

🎙️ The newest episode of Beyond the Noise just dropped! Listen to @mattklein123.dev and @p-y.wtf chat about his journey from open source to Block, and why AI introducing so many new bugs may actually be a good thing for curious engineers 🪲

We started with a simple idea: "Let’s prototype how bitdrift would work on godot". Normal teams would write a PRD. Maybe write a spec.
We are not normal. We built a fully functional arcade cabinet.

We’re hosting a mobile engineering happy hour in San Francisco next Tuesday, on the 11th. We'll be at Bar Darling, one of my favorite SF bars.
We’d love for any folks local to SF to come join us for some food and drinks, talk mobile, and network a bit!

Adding more telemetry to your app shouldn't require a re-deploy (and the long app store approval process that goes with it). With bitdrift, it doesn't 👇

🚨 The third post in our hands-on series has dropped! In this post, we'll walk you through how to instrument a funnel in bitdrift. Follow along as we create a funnel for the Wikipedia iOS app to analyze user drop-off in the donation funnel.
We couldn’t agree more. Observability is essential...but legacy tools often bury teams in more noise, complexity, and bills. We’re here to change that.
What if you could spend less time chasing down hard-to-reproduce bugs and more time shipping features? We're happy to help teams like Bluesky Social do just that 🔎 🐛
As we work with more and more customers @bitdrift.io, one of the biggest usability problems that customers face that is inherent in real-time observability ...
What you don’t see can hurt you 👀 RUM is powerful, but sampling makes it way less effective. That's why we let you collect data without sampling (and without blowing up your budget)

Did you know that you can use bitdrift for crash reports?
We designed our crash reporting tool alongside Capture. What does this mean for you? Well, instead of being limited to breadcrumbs, you get full context on every crash.
Read more here 👇
Did you know that bitdrift comes with a ton of metrics out of the box, all of which you get just by integrating the bitdrift SDK? 👀
🚨 The second installment of our series on getting hands-on with bitdrift using the Wikipedia app is live! In this post, we'll show you how to simulate a memory leak & how to detect the symptoms before a crash happens.
Check it out here👇
Learn how to take a production-grade app (The Official Wikipedia app for Android), and instrument it with the bitdrift SDK, including all of the existing network calls and custom logs.

When did bitdrift first click for you?
bitdrift is 2 years old! 🎂 During that time, we've changed our hypothesis on what really matters in observability:
The initial hypothesis: cost is what matters
The new hypothesis: cost matters, but is a secondary concern
