This is where network jitter monitoring comes to the rescue.

Psst, hey pal, would you like to buy a time machine? I am not talking about some H.G. Wells monstrosity where you somehow end up being chased by dinosaurs or become your own grandparent. But a time machine for your observability data. License costs and tool performance often keep organizations from ingesting all their data or require them to limit data retention time. Security incidents are often discovered long after these retention times are exhausted or require data that was never ingested.

Honeycomb has the ability to receive events from applications. These events can take the shape of Honeycomb wide events, OpenTelemetry trace spans, and OpenTelemetry metrics. Because Honeycomb’s backend is very flexible, these OpenTelemetry signals fit in just fine—but sometimes, they have a few quirks. Let’s dive into using metrics the Honeycomb way and cover a few optimizations.

A comprehensive guide to support faster drug innovation and discovery in the pharmaceutical industry with generative AI/LLMs, custom models, and the Elasticsearch Relevance Engine (ESRE) Faster drug discovery leading to promising drug candidates is the main objective of the pharmaceutical industry.

Mobile device users care about three things when it comes to good app performance: We’re going to look at how modern concurrency APIs can help with some of these. We recently shipped a new profiling feature to help you find the sources of main thread contention; specifically detecting issues with image and JSON decoding or regex matching. These point you to spots where you can immediately make improvements to your app’s UI performance.
