Case Study: Yelp achieves a 99.98% stability target with Bugsnag

Yelp achieves a 99.98% stability target using Bugsnag to improve mobile app stability

Yelp, the local-search platform connecting millions of users with businesses, needed to keep its mobile apps crash-free as the engineering team and release cadence scaled. An internally built tool and later Crashlytics proved inadequate—developers struggled with poor search and slow cold starts—so Yelp sought a more effective stability monitoring solution to protect user experience.

Yelp adopted Bugsnag (starting with Android, then iOS and web), integrating its Releases dashboard, stability score, fast alerts, intelligent grouping and third‑party integrations into release management. The result: faster detection and triage, a 99.98% stability target achieved, roughly 50% smaller APKs, fewer beta crashes, and stronger Google Play ratings.
