Introduction to Observability on Mobile
summary
Overview of how Spendesk implements mobile observability: centralized logs in Datadog (with Slack alerts for threshold breaches), enriched with device/OS/session metadata and user‑flow instrumentation that counts failures and durations. The approach emphasizes sampling, remote toggles and GDPR‑safe collection for scale (3,800 customers, €10B processed); start by instrumenting five critical flows, add lightweight dashboards and automatic alerts, unify events across Android and iOS, and use measurements to validate fixes or quantify performance gains (example: 40% improvement).
