Simon Prickett: Introducing Frontend Observability with Grafana Faro

Grafana Faro is an open source JavaScript SDK that adds observability to your web apps. Drop it into any frontend and it captures errors, logs, Core Web Vitals, user sessions and traces from real users' browsers, so you can see how your app behaves in the wild. It works with any framework, and the data goes to a backend you can choose to run yourself.

This talk is for front-end developers who haven't used Faro or other Grafana tools. I'll cover what Faro collects, how to set it up, and what you can do with the data once it's flowing. This isn't just a slideware presentation - I'll demonstrate an end to end data flow.

Simon is a Senior Developer Advocate at Grafana Labs, specializing in data visualization and IoT projects.
