Last year, we went fully agent-based at Rootly. Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, all of it. The productivity gains were real. However, Rigel, senior engineering manager at Rootly, started noticing a pattern emerging in his team.

Critical vulnerabilities are critical because they're easy to exploit — but most breaches don't even need them. Tony explains why phishing remains the dominant attack vector, why strong instrumentation matters for forensics (tracing an API call through a database to see exactly what was leaked), and how observability data becomes security data when something goes wrong. The system is harder to breach than the human. And that's the whole game.

Observability engineers will spend weeks tuning instrumentation. Security engineers? They want a collector installed and logs flowing — yesterday. And that's actually the magic of OpenTelemetry + Bindplane: from day one you're routing firewall logs, endpoint data, server logs straight into your SIEM with zero instrumentation lift. One toolchain. Two teams. No silos. Filmed at Google Cloud Next '26 — Las Vegas bindplane.com#OpenTelemetry.

If you're building agents trying to figure out the best way to actually make them successful in production, you're going to want to know about headless observability. Headless observability means an agent can access information about the health of your system through a CLI instead of clicking around dashboards. It's the data layer that going to unlock serious autonomy and allow you to scale with agentic workloads.

Honeycomb has shipped a production integration with Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, surfacing agent telemetry directly in Agent Timeline, Honeycomb's trace view for behavior. It's available now and built on.

Watch a full replay of all sessions on Day 3 of Honeycomb's Innovation Week.

Honeycomb and Embrace are extending the rigorous, data-driven practice that Honeycomb pioneered for foundational to mobile and web, giving, site reliability, and platform teams a complete, correlated picture of system health. The strategic partnership makes understanding performance and reliability for every user and every screen part of the observability practice, bringing new depth and standardization to how teams measure end user impact.
