Ever wondered why your app crashes in production despite rigorous testing? Mobile observability in React Native is more than traditional monitoring; it's the ability to understand user experiences in real-time, before negative app store reviews start piling up.

In this talk from React Universe Meetup held in New York, David Rifkin introduces OpenTelemetry: a universal, vendor-neutral standard transforming how developers monitor and debug mobile applications.

You'll learn precisely what observability means for mobile environments, and how OpenTelemetry helps translate React Native application behavior into actionable insights. David will walk you through the fundamentals of OpenTelemetry, including tracing, logging, and metrics, and show you how these powerful signals help uncover hidden performance issues at both the JavaScript and native layers of your app.
