React Native is not currently supported by the OpenTelemetry project, which leaves engineering teams scratching their heads when they want to leverage the open standard to instrument observability for their React Native mobile apps.
Should they use the OpenTelemetry JavaScript SDK? Are there instrumentation packages built specifically for React Native? And how difficult is it to connect mobile telemetry to existing observability solutions?
This webinar will help you make the best decision for your team about your React Native observability. Key takeaways include:
- Pros and cons of using the official OTel SDKs for React Native.
- Benefits of using Embrace’s SDK, including full OTel support, automated instrumentation, and enriching telemetry with key mobile context.
- How Embrace contributes to OTel, and next steps for the React Native community to further support OpenTelemetry.
- Demo using the React Native app from the OpenTelemetry demo to send telemetry to an OTel-compatible observability solution (e.g., Grafana Cloud) as well as the Embrace dashboard.
- How to create powerful workflows between DevOps/SREs and mobile teams with Embrace’s Data Forwarding.
If you have questions about OpenTelemetry, React Native observability, or the Embrace platform, please send them our way, and we’ll answer them during the presentation.
