Crash monitoring isn't just about the SDK

The hard part of crash observability isn't instrumentation — it's adoption, triaging, and making it stick.

Crash monitoring isn’t just about the SDK

Drop in Crashlytics. Done, right? No.

The SDK is the easy part. The hard parts:

Triaging noise vs. real regressions
Owning crash buckets across teams
Getting people to actually look at the dashboard

Without ownership, you have a graph nobody reads.

What worked

Auto-route crashes to teams via package mapping
Slack alert only on regressions, not every crash
Weekly crash review baked into team rituals

The SDK is 10% of the work.
