Honeycomb Learn Ep 1 Instrument Better for a Happy Debugging Team
Nathan LeClaire, Sales Engineer @honeycombio knows first-hand that the key to instrumenting code is to start with baby steps. With Honeycomb, a little instrumentation will give vast insights as soon as you ingest your data. With Honeycomb Beelines, we take the heavy lifting out of instrumenting. Listen to learn: See Honeycomb in action, hear best practices, and learn how fast and painless instrumentation can be.
Honeycomb Learn Ep. 2: De-stress Debugging -Triggers, Feature Flags, & Fast Query
This episode in our Honeycomb Learn series looks at how to cut stress levels when debugging issues in production. Starting with a hypothesis, run fast queries, and then navigate to the code where the problem lies. Be proactive and set triggers to let you know if something needs attention. When engineering is about to ship a new release, set a feature flag to watch how production behaves in real-time. Curtail performance issues and reduce customer impact with the right tools to better understand production systems, right now.
Honeycomb Learn Ep. 3: See The Trace? Discover Errors, Latency & More across Distributed Systems
Distributed systems bring complexity for developer and ops teams. When incidents occur in production, expected and unexpected, you want to pinpoint which part of the service is giving problems. Distributed tracing illuminates distributed systems, making your logs easier to navigate. Quickly identify where there are errors or latency in your code or service, even within 3rd party services you use. Instrumentation is the key to the best tracing experience possible.
Honeycomb Learn Ep. 4: Bubble-Up to Spot Outliers in Production
The power of Honeycomb lies in the way you analyze production data using different interactive views. See what's happening across many dimensions (fields) in your system with BubbleUp. Pick the timeframe, breakdown by any field, such as customer name or ID, then filter by a specific dataset or where any errors occur. The query results are heatmap that highlight events over the baseline, over time. Use BubbleUp to select outliers on the heatmap and drill down to all related fields in that data. It will help you understand which part of the code is misbehaving.
Honeycomb Learn Ep 5 Never Alone On Call
In this webinar, we’ll discuss and show how: Honeycomb's query history gives rich meaningful context, Honeycomb’ers dogfood and learn from each others' compound wisdom, benefits span engineering cycles and use-cases when debugging and maintaining, & to build a culture of observability and why you should do it now.
How Dashbird Atlas Accelerates Serverless Observability
Share When it comes to serverless applications, their distributed nature of exponential scalability and use of potentially thousands of resources automatically begs the need for observability. Using the mass data output of an application to understand and optimize the internal states is a game-changing strategy, but only if used well. Dashbird Atlas takes serverless observability to a new level, reducing excessive noise through simple visualization of your application.
Coralogix - On-Demand Webinar: Scaling Observability
In today’s fast-moving era of technology with increasing levels of abstraction and separation between application and infrastructure, it’s important for us to be able to understand exactly what our CI/CD processes are doing. We need to be able to quickly monitor deployment health just as we would application health.

AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry, Grafana, Prometheus, Loki, OpenMetrics, and beyond: How Open Standards continue to shape modern observability
AWS is announcing the AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry today. This is a distribution of OpenTelemetry, itself a CNCF sandbox project. This is part of a wider push towards Open Source, cloud native technologies, and modern observability, all based on Open Standards. This push can be observed across the whole technology sector, but with increasing velocity from within AWS. As they are the largest public cloud provider by far, this is noteworthy in and of itself.
