Session
Observability is the ability to measure the current state of a system. Backend engineers are familiar with the 3 pillars of observability, and technologies such as OpenTelemetry that can be used to instrument applications and diagnose issues. Yet in the frontend world, we're behind the curve.
Join me as I dive into the tools and techniques we can use to instrument, monitor and diagnose issues in our frontend services. We'll cover RUM (Realtime User Monitoring) agents and the metrics and traces they provide, how to combine them with backend tracing for a full story path, and how this can be accomplished with a completely open source Observability platform.
