Embrace, the user-focused observability platform, announced today it has expanded its product suite beyond mobile with the introduction of Real User Monitoring (RUM) for Web. Built on OpenTelemetry and informed by Embrace’s foundational Mobile RUM product, the launch reinforces the company’s dedication to reliability from the perspective of end-users, regardless of screen.

The expansion is supported by Embrace’s existing investors NEA, Greycroft, AV8 (Allianz), and Eniac who back the company’s Web RUM initiative and vision to scale the only user-focused observability platform based on the OpenTelemetry standard.
“Embrace is the only observability platform built from the ground up around performance as experienced by end-users,” said Aaron Jacobson, Partner, NEA. “With a commitment to and leadership in OpenTelemetry, Eric Futoran and the Embrace team are ushering in the next generation of Real User Monitoring for engineers to deliver flawless digital experiences that impact the bottom line. We believe Embrace is redefining observability around users and business outcomes.”
Understanding How Performance Impacts User Engagement
Legacy RUM products are optimized for backend service monitoring, sometimes surfacing key aggregate metrics at a page level in an attempt to correlate to real user performance. But they lack the context to determine whether variations in render timing, client-side errors, or specific web vitals materially impact individual end-user experiences.
Embrace provides out-of-the-box solutions to help engineers make sense of site performance data and its impact on users. Teams can connect telemetry to what users are actually experiencing, offering clarity on what’s broken, why it matters, and how to fix it. From web performance regressions to mobile crashes affecting high-value users, Embrace helps prioritize the issues that impact people and revenue.
“Our customers wanted to see our product approach applied to the web, where we record individual end-user play-by-plays and use those to detect the types of regressions and issues that impact user engagement,” said Andrew Tunall, President and Chief Product Officer at Embrace. “With the addition of Web RUM to our premier mobile product, we’re empowering teams to understand reliability and performance exactly as their users experience it, on any device.”
