Catchpoint, the leading provider of Internet Performance Monitoring, is excited to announce the release of Mobile RUM, its new native real-user monitoring for mobile applications. Built on OpenTelemetry standards, this new capability gives teams comprehensive visibility into mobile experiences, including unparalleled insights into anything affecting the mobile user experience in the Internet Stack from app code to network conditions. This launch is part of Catchpoint’s broader platform upgrade, which also includes Benchmarks, an expanded global observability network, BGP private peers, and improved AI-driven capabilities.
Catchpoint was an early adopter of OpenTelemetry with its Code Tracing capabilities. Now, by extending OTel to native mobile RUM, Catchpoint empowers customers with the most comprehensive, future-proof observability platform on the market. OpenTelemetry provides a standardized, vendor-neutral approach to instrumenting software for observability, offering benefits such as consistent data collection, enhanced visibility into application performance, and flexibility in choosing monitoring and observability tools. It streamlines the process of gathering and analyzing telemetry data.
This leadership in OpenTelemetry is also reflected in our team: Serkan Özal, a Catchpoint Architect, was named a winner of the 2024 Open Telemetry community awards and has been promoted to OpenTelemetry Lambda approver and maintainer.

Our investment in open observability comes at a critical time. Today, over six billion people use smartphones, and 87% of them use apps on their smartphones. As the cloud-native architectures powering these critical, revenue-generating applications continue to grow, so too does the need for IT and the business to align on real-world user experience and app stability in competitive, saturated marketplaces.
“In today’s fast-paced digital landscape, the need for robust and reliable native mobile app real user monitoring (RUM) and the need for borderless visibility has never been greater. We are proud to fulfill this need by offering our newest Mobile RUM capabilities, based on OpenTelemetry, to advance the standards of observability, web performance monitoring, and Internet Stack visibility,” says Mehdi Daoudi, CEO at Catchpoint. “By offering these cutting-edge capabilities to our customers, we empower businesses to deliver exceptional native mobile user experiences, optimize app performance, and stay ahead in the competitive mobile market,” he adds.
The Native Mobile SDK RUM capability enables a holistic view of application performance by capturing data from actual, hyperlocal user sessions in real time.
