I see these don’t support mobile. Do you use something else there?

Do you have any needs to pull these metrics together?

Ask HN: What tools are you using for client RUM (Real User Monitoring)?

What tools are you using for client Real User Monitoring?Ideally I would use OTEL but the client libraries are only stable for tracing.I’ve started looking at Sentry, NewRelic and Dynatrace. Neither are a perfect solution as it means splitting up our backend metrics (GCP, with managed Prometheus) and front end without some syncing or moving them over to them.What does everyone else use?
