bitdrift

bitdrift builds Capture, a cost-effective dynamic mobile observability platform for iOS, Android, and React Native. A lightweight on-device SDK stores high-volume telemetry locally and uploads only what is needed under real-time control from the bitdrift control plane, avoiding lengthy mobile release cycles to change what is collected. The platform surfaces Instant Insights dashboards, Workflows for custom metrics, funnels and session-capture rules, a Session Timeline for debugging, Issues & Crashes tracking, and Alerts. It is operated through a web portal and the `bd` CLI, and exposes a public, schema-first protobuf API over gRPC, Connect, and gRPC-over-JSON at api-public.bitdrift.io. bitdrift is a developer-tools company backed by Amplify Partners.

bitdrift publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Developer Tools, Observability, Mobile, and Monitoring.

The bitdrift catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.

bitdrift’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, quickstart, support, engineering blog, pricing, and 21 more developer resources.
