Memfault overview

What is Memfault?

Memfault is an embedded observability platform that allows hardware engineering teams to continuously monitor devices, debug firmware issues, and deploy OTA updates to embedded devices.

The SDKs are made with low and intermittent connectivity in mind. If devices can only send out a small amount of data, users will be able to ration it in chunks of the size they choose, and the software will take care of transporting it for them. If devices rely on a companion (such as a mobile phone) for Internet access, users can use it as a bridge. Users can also post data directly from their device.

With Memfault, users can scale their devices without scaling issues. Memfault is modular, so it works on embedded devices running on any real-time operating system (RTOS), Android OS or Linux using any connectivity (WiFi, Bluetooth, LTE, Zigbee, LoRa, etc.). From powerful SoCs down to MCUs with the most constrained capabilities, Memfault will fit into the device’s available flash, RAM, and bandwidth. The cloud-based platform ensures that shipping and managing millions of devices is no different than one.

Key benefits of using Memfault

Debug Devices Remotely:

Receive rich insights into your devices’ crashes without needing to attach a debugger or getting the device shipped to your facility.

Memfault keeps track of crashes automatically and will make traces of errors available to you on our web application as soon as they're uploaded. Even if you have the device at hand, Memfault traces enable a more streamlined debugging experience with helpful visualizations and connected data displayed from our parsing.

Proactively Fix Issues:
Set up alerts to monitor the health of your fleet and catch all device issues automatically before your customers notice them for quick issue resolution and customer retention.

Whether a device fails to connect over Bluetooth or crashes during operation, we alert your team with the same details you’d expect from your physical debugger, and deduplicate reports so you can gauge impact before your customers report the problem.

Easily Prepare Secure OTA Updates:
The conventional process of handing a pilot device over to QA and waiting for bugs to be found, to then fix them is not enough anymore.

Memfault de-risks OTA updates with near real-time monitoring and controlled releases to help you debug and ship new releases confidently.


Privacy & Security:

SOC 2 Type II Compliant:
The SOC 2 Type II certification affirms that a verified, independent third party has formally reviewed Memfault’s infrastructure, software, data, people, policies, procedures, and operations. Read more ->

GDPR Compliant and Full Data Encryption:
- Device -> Cloud: All data sent from the device to the Memfault cloud is encrypted via HTTPS. You are in full control of the exact data sent from the device ensuring you can remove any sensitive PII (Personal Identifiable Information) or other info you don't want to collect.
- Cloud: All data is encrypted at rest. We are hosted on AWS and encrypt all data at rest with keys managed in KMS and AWS SSE-S3. Crash reports uploaded to our service are encrypted using a key, which is unique to each project. This guarantees that this data cannot be shared between customers.

Customizable & Easily Integrable SDK:
Our SDK is only able to request pre-defined data sets and we’re never able to inject any code or run arbitrary scripts. We’re simply reading what is provided to our SDK, writing it to some local storage, and once that data gets to our backend we’re unspooling it and presenting it to you in our UI.

On-Device Log Filtering and Scrubbing:
Data can be scrubbed and filtered before it leaves the device. Scrubbing and filtering rules can be updated in our dashboard and are automatically propagated to the devices.
