Honeycomb Canvas: The Multiplayer Workspace for the Agentic Era

Last week, we launched a major update to Canvas, our investigation workspace. The new Canvas has evolved from an AI co-pilot you chat with to a place where your whole team, human and agent, can work the same problem on the same surface. Auto-investigations begin the moment a trigger, SLO, or anomaly fires. Custom skills encode your team's runbooks so every agent investigates with your team's expertise built in.

Agent Timeline: The Flight Recorder for Your AI Agents

Last week, we introduced Agent Timeline, a powerful new observability experience purpose-built for debugging AI agent workflows in production. Agent Timeline uniquely connects AI-layer visibility to full-stack observability by organizing telemetry around an agentic conversation. A conversation contains one or more agent executions, each of which may contain LLM calls, tool invocations, handoffs, retries, human escalations, and downstream system calls.

How Honeycomb Is Embracing the Challenges of End-to-End Observability with Embrace

Customers regularly come to us looking to solve their observability problem by connecting the dots from frontend to backend. It sounds straightforward in theory, but in practice it's one of the hardest problems in modern application monitoring. The frontend monitoring tools they already have in place tend to be proprietary or narrowly scoped to frontend needs, leaving them without the context-rich backend data that makes real triage possible.

Honeycomb Innovation Week: Announcing Our Partnership With Embrace

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.

Honeycomb Achieves the AWS Financial Services Competency

Honeycomb is proud to share that we have achieved the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Financial Services Competency. This recognition validates our technical expertise and proven customer success in assisting financial services organizations with building, running, and understanding their production systems on AWS. Securing this competency is a direct response to our customers’ feedback in this space: observability in regulated, high-stakes environments requires more than dashboards and alerts.

Observability for the Agent Era: Day 2 | Launches

Honeycomb's Innovation Week: Observability for the Agent Era (May 12-14) For Day 2 of Innovation Week, Honeycomb's product and engineering teams will take you inside the new capabilities purpose-built for the agent era. Expect live demos, real scenarios, and a hands-on look at what it means to own observability for the Agentic era, with AI in Honeycomb to observe AI in production. A 3-Day Virtual Event for Teams Building the Future May 12: Get insights on how the best engineering teams are tackling the challenges of the agentic era.

Honeycomb Innovation Week: Debugging Agentic Workflows with Ken Rimple

Canvas skills are how your team's runbooks and tribal knowledge become an active part of the investigation instead of a document someone has to remember to open. Pre-built skills cover the most common investigation patterns out of the box. Custom skills let you encode the specific context, thresholds, and decision logic your team has accumulated, so every auto-investigation starts with your best thinking already applied.

Observability for the Agent Era: Day 1 | Keynotes

Honeycomb's Innovation Week: Observability for the Agent Era (May 12-14) For Day 1 of Innovation Week, Honeycomb co-founders Christine Yen and Charity Majors will share what it actually takes to understand and debug systems in the agent era, and what the best engineering teams are doing differently. A 3-Day Virtual Event for Teams Building the Future May 12: Get insights on how the best engineering teams are tackling the challenges of the agentic era.
