We’re back at talking about Monitoring, Profiling and Instrumentation with folks from the Sentry SDK. I’m excited to have on stage Manoel Aranda Neto and Roman Zavarnitsyn to talk as a bit about their Android SDK.

The Sentry Android SDK goes beyond just monitoring. It’s able to auto-instrument your code, using bytecode manipulation (which sounds both scary and cool). Join me in this episode, while the folks from Sentry tell us how this works internally and how Sentry can help you improve your application performances.

Building a chat client is hard.

Sending messages, uploading attachments, and handling reactions are all tedious and quite complicate tasks that are common to a wide variety of apps. Those are the foundation of the Android Stream SDK. With Stream you can build a customized chat experience for your mobile apps. The various SDKs are completely open-source and are available for several platforms (Web, iOS, Android and even gaming platforms).

Today we have Filip Babić on stage, Android UI Team Lead at Stream, to walk us through their Android SDK. Specifically, Stream is offering both an Android XML SDK and a Compose SDK. We’re going to talk about the differences between the two, and the challenges of building a chat SDK to serve millions of messages.
