#### Upcoming Webinar

# How Bond Home Built In-House Observability and Why They Switched to Memfault

Wednesday, October 30, 2024 - 9AM PT | 12PM ET | 5PM CET

### **About the Webinar**

Chris Merck, CTO at Bond Home, shares details of their journey building in-house observability infrastructure to support their growing embedded device fleet. Learn about the pitfalls they encountered as they scaled, the maintenance overhead they faced, and the limited visibility it provided.

During the webinar, Chris will talk through the decision to ultimately switch to Memfault and the transformation it has had for their firmware team and operations, enabling them to focus more on product innovation instead of infrastructure management.

Here's what you’ll learn:

- The process of developing an observability solution in-house
- The pros and cons of in-house vs third-party solutions
- Bond Home’s experience with Memfault and how it has helped them achieve their goals
