The Event Data Tooling (EDT) team works on improving the quality of data emitted from Reddit client platforms (iOS, Android, Web) to support the reliability of Reddit Core Metrics.

We are actively increasing coverage of our core telemetry by unit, integration, and end-to-end tests. Our customers are product teams building their telemetry using our libraries for analytics. Additionally, we collaborate with Data Science, Machine Learning, and other data organizations contributing to the data quality of their metrics.
