Honeycomb is an American software company headquartered in San Francisco, California that provides an observability and application performance management platform designed to help engineering teams find and solve complex issues in their cloud applications. Founded in 2016, Honeycomb is the observability platform that enables engineering teams to f... ind and solve problems they could not before by providing real-time insights into complex systems. The company's approach is fundamentally different from other tools that claim observability, as it unifies all data sources in a single type and returns queries in seconds rather than minutes, revealing critical issues that logs and metrics alone cannot see. Using the power of distributed tracing and a query engine designed for highly contextual telemetry data, Honeycomb reveals both why a problem is happening and who specifically is impacted. The platform accepts telemetry from applications instrumented with OpenTelemetry SDKs, in addition to structured JSON data or other custom integrations, and offers metrics and tracing visualizations as well as AI-assisted debugging capabilities. Honeycomb stores all telemetry signals in one place, giving users industry-leading performance and unlimited insights about what is going on in production, with AI-assisted investigations cutting debugging time down to seconds. The company integrates with over sixty tools across the software development lifecycle, integrating seamlessly into existing tech stacks to keep users in flow. Honeycomb has raised nearly one hundred fifty million dollars in total funding, including a fifty million dollar Series D round led by Headline with participation from Insight Partners and Scale Venture Partners. Customers including HelloFresh, Stripe, Slack, Fender, Vanguard, LaunchDarkly, Dropbox, and Duolingo rely on Honeycomb for fast incident response, performance optimization, and safely accelerating release cycles.Read More
