Case Study: adidas Runtastic deploys fixes twice as fast with Embrace

adidas Runtastic deploys fixes twice as fast with Embrace

adidas Runtastic, the Austrian fitness app company behind adidas Running and adidas Training, needed better mobile observability for its Android and iOS apps. Before Embrace, the team relied on New Relic for mobile monitoring, but sampled data and limited mobile context made it hard to proactively identify crashes, ANRs, and other issues or quickly reproduce user experiences.

With Embrace, adidas Runtastic gained high-fidelity mobile telemetry, user session visibility, and out-of-the-box insights that helped engineers pinpoint root causes faster and avoid adding breadcrumbs just to investigate problems. Embrace enabled the team to deploy fixes twice as fast, improve release reliability, enhance alerting and reporting through New Relic integration, and reduce the number of release candidates needed before shipping.
