It's hard for anyone to experience our services' many nines if our apps keep crashing. Front end reliability is critical to keeping our users happy - so how can we reliability engineers help improve it?
This talk will explore the unique technical and organizational challenges facing the front end, with particular emphasis on observability. Through specific examples from my experience as an SRE working on mobile reliability, you will learn about hurdles like how difficult it can be to add even basic metrics as well as get inspired by how well-connected front end tooling is to business analytics. Ultimately, we'll imagine what a more holistic approach to reliability could look like and consider a path to achieving it.
