Memfault
The first observability platform for connected devices.
Overview
Memfault is a cloud-based platform designed to give hardware developers visibility into their devices in the field. It provides tools for crash analysis, error reporting, performance monitoring, and OTA updates. By collecting and analyzing data from devices, Memfault helps teams proactively identify, diagnose, and fix issues, leading to more reliable and robust products.
✨ Key Features
- Remote crash debugging and analysis (coredumps)
- Error and issue reporting with fleet-wide aggregation
- Performance monitoring (metrics, logs)
- Over-the-Air (OTA) firmware updates
- Device attribute and cohort management
- SDK for various RTOS and embedded Linux
🎯 Key Differentiators
- Deep focus on embedded device debugging (coredumps, stack traces)
- Lightweight and efficient device-side SDK
- Designed by and for hardware engineers
- Combines debugging, monitoring, and OTA updates in one platform
Unique Value: Provides unprecedented visibility into the performance and stability of IoT devices post-deployment, enabling teams to fix issues up to 10x faster.
🎯 Use Cases (4)
✅ Best For
- Debugging hard-to-reproduce crashes in consumer electronics
- Monitoring battery life across a fleet of devices
- Staged rollout of firmware updates to mitigate risk
💡 Check With Vendor
Verify these considerations match your specific requirements:
- Cloud application monitoring
- Network performance monitoring
🏆 Alternatives
Unlike generic APM tools like Datadog, Memfault is purpose-built for the constraints and challenges of embedded systems. Compared to building an in-house solution, it provides a comprehensive, ready-to-use platform that saves significant engineering effort.
