Summary

Groundcover has entered frontend observability with its Real User Monitoring (RUM) capability, expanding its Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) deployment model to include eBPF and BYOC on the client side. This allows for complete privacy of user data, leveraging groundcover's unique backend observability capabilities in a single platform with frontend observability, facilitating end-to-end correlation and visibility over the entire experience. Frontend teams can now benefit from real-time performance insights, improved user experience and engagement, faster debugging and issue resolution, by monitoring real user behavior and correlating it with backend telemetry. The RUM capability is built into a lightweight custom SDK that seamlessly integrates into existing groundcover backends, collecting detailed data on navigation events, user interactions, custom events, frontend errors and exceptions, and comprehensive session context. This unified view of frontend user experiences alongside backend metrics, logs, and traces accelerates troubleshooting and improves user satisfaction.
