Honeycomb Is All-In on OpenTelemetry

OpenTelemetry (or “OTel”) helps you get your instrumentation started quickly, and it helps you get the most out of that telemetry data by providing flexible exporting options. As a result, it’s emerging as the new standard for instrumentation. To that end, today we’re sharing more insight into the work we’ve done (and are doing) to enable a path for all Honeycomb users toward OTel adoption. We hope you’ll be as excited as we are to embrace these open standards!

Full-cycle observability with the Elastic Stack and Lightrun

An application running in production is a difficult beast to tame. Most experienced developers–ones who spent enough late nights or Saturday mornings trying to break apart a nasty production bug–will try and create the clearest possible picture for their later selves while writing their code, so that they could understand what’s actually going on in the system during an incident.

How to monitor your disks and filesystems, now also with eBPF

Current IT monitoring software lacks the necessary metrics for minimizing downtime for systems and applications. Most provide system and application metrics but there is much more than this required for properly monitoring your infrastructure. With eBPF there is a technological advancement that allows monitoring software to provide rich information from the Linux kernel and present it.

[Webinar] Take a Walk On the Safe Side: Using Feature Flags W/ Komodor & Sentry

Feature flags are enabling developers to deploy with confidence, safe in the knowledge that they can always disable buggy features in production without changing the code. While this increases the speed, stability, and frequency of software updates, it’s no magic trick and still requires planning in advance and using the right tools.
