The backend dashboard shows 99.999% uptime, but our users (and the frontend team) insist "your mobile app sucks". This disconnect highlights a critical gap between monitoring and observability.
This session is a 101 guide to understanding the state of your mobile applications by leveraging their external outputs, or "signals". We will demystify the "three pillars" of telemetry:
