We are excited to announce an expansion of our partnership with Embrace to bring mobile observability to our users using open standards like OpenTelemetry. We first worked with Embrace last year when they created a plugin for Grafana that gives mobile teams an easy way to visualize and analyze real-time mobile metrics directly in a Grafana dashboard.

Of all the KPIs that gauge the health and operational fitness of an enterprise, Mean Time to Repair (MTTR) from an outage or downtime is one of the most crucial.

‍ AI has revolutionized various aspects of incident response, from preparation to resolution. Across the incident response lifecycle, AI is being leveraged to streamline processes, reduce noise, and improve overall efficiency. One critical area where AI is making a significant impact is in incident communication. Effective and efficient communication is crucial during incidents, as it ensures that stakeholders are informed and aligned with the incident status and resolution efforts.

Organizations are treading cautiously with generative AI tools despite seeing them as a game changer. Many seek the “sweet spot” – enabling benefits right now while identifying more strategic future uses, all without compromising security.
