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. ⚡

How is the world's largest storage system, AWS S3 built? Mai-Lan Tomsen Bukovec, who has been heading up S3 for 13 years (!) S3's scale is something else (tens of millions of hard drives, eleven 9s of durability (!!) and heavy usage of formal methods, amongst others.)

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.

Hi everyone! Today we are thrilled to launch or revamped free tier for @bitdrift.io. For too long crash reporting has been synonymous with mobile observability, which is unfortunate because 99.9% of sessions are crash free.
