Thanks Austin! ✨
Great evening with the mobile community at the Mobile Engineering Summit: lightning talks, a panel on performance, reliability & AI, and the kind of energy that makes it worth doing again.
Stay tuned for our next Summit in a city near you! 🙌
The Capture SDK is now running in 1B real-world environments! 🎉
Traditional observability tools send large volumes of data to centralized systems. Capture stores data on-device, giving mobile teams control over what gets sent and when.

🎙️ New Beyond the Noise: our first two-guest episode.
Lauren Darcey & Eric Kuck (Infinite Retry Labs, ex-Reddit) on mobile at scale: why your team is already on-call without knowing it, the systemic issues you only uncover at millions of users, and so much more: buff.ly/zCtX1uM
🎙️New episode of Beyond the Noise! Matt Klein brings on Kelsey Hightower.
Kelsey talks through what AI is doing to developer salaries, what he tells junior engineers wondering if they picked the wrong field, and why open source is the only realistic check on what's being built today: buff.ly/VUD6ktX
Most mobile teams know when a critical flow is degrading. They just can't tell you why.
bitdrift follows that journey on-device, without sampling, and surfaces the full context when something fails. Learn more about Critical User Journeys: blog.bitdrift.io/post/critica...
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 wrapping your code in complex stopwatches or shipping a new release.

Zuper went from stitching together crash and analytics tools to full on-device visibility across complex mobile workflows.
With bitdrift, they now catch issues before they reach customers.

📣 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. 🔗 blog.bitdrift.io/post/announc... #MobileObservability
🎙️ 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".

A traditional mobile crash tool shows you how your app crashed.
bitdrift: shows you why it crashed.
Mobile crash reporting is free on bitdrift. Full context included: everything you need to track and debug crashes. Try it today! #MobileCrashReporting
🎙️New episode alert! Hear @tysmith.me, Principal Engineer at Uber, talk his career path, the coming validation/observability crunch, and the rise of AI-driven development.

bitdrift now supports issue triaging:
- Assign issues directly
- Set a status for any issue
-Track which app version includes a fix
Read more about how to go from detection ➝ fix, all without leaving bitdrift.

🎙️ 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.
Here's the story: blog.bitdrift.io/post/introdu...
🎙️ New episode of Beyond the Noise just dropped!
In this episode, Hemant Garg, VP of Engineering at DraftKings discusses working on the first Droid phone, his time at Evernote, JPMC, and now DraftKings, and more!

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 👇
It’s here! 🎙️ Beyond the Noise: Signals, Stories & Spicy Takes - our new podcast hosted by Matt Klein.

🚨 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 ...
