Episode Synopsis

Todd Gardner, CEO of Request Metrics and TrackJS, discusses "Frontend Observability" with RedMonk senior analyst Kate Holterhoff. In an attempt to answer the question "Is Frontend Observability Hipster RUM?," Kate and Todd delve into the concept of frontend observability by exploring its definition, historical context, and the uphill marketing hurdles involved in educating web developers about observability tools. Their conversation highlights the disconnect between observability terminology and the practical needs of developers (from SREs to frontend engineers), emphasizing the need for a user-centric approach to positioning these products for the market.
