Observability as Code Explained: Benefits & How to Get Started
Traditional monitoring has become insufficient for managing complex systems. Modern infrastructures consist of numerous interconnected services, and simply monitoring individual metrics and logs fails to provide a comprehensive view. This is where observability becomes crucial.

Ensuring access to the right telemetry data - like logs, metrics, events, and traces from all applications and infrastructure are challenging in our distributed world. Teams struggle with various data management issues, such as security concerns, data egress costs, and compliance regulations to keep specific data within the enterprise. Mezmo Edge is a distributed telemetry pipeline that processes data securely in your environment based on your observability needs.
Control the Chaos: The Rise of Network Observability
Join Kentik's Greg Villain and Steve Meuse and discover how network observability empowers network operators to face the challenges of an ever-changing economy and focus on cost, performance, and reliability. Learn about network observability tools and methods, simplifying complex hybrid network data, the infrastructure decision framework, and how AI is powering the future of network monitoring.
Optimizing Database Performance with Honeycomb Relational Fields
Martin investigates: what database queries are taking the longest? Then he digs into the one taking the most time, and asks: What user-initiated requests trigger this query? This kind of question helps developers focus our efforts where they count. And it's possible in Honeycomb with Relational Fields. This is #observability during development, using #OpenTelemetry #tracing and Honeycomb.
Deploy on Friday? How About Destroy on Friday! A Chaos Engineering Experiment - Part 1
We recently took a daring step to test and improve the reliability of the Honeycomb service: we abruptly destroyed one third of the infrastructure in our production environment using AWS’s Fault Injection Service. You might be wondering why the heck we did something so drastic. In this post, we’ll go over why we did it and how we made sure that it wouldn’t impact our service.
Embark on the Observability Journey
With the advent of byte code instrumentation (BCI) in 2008, application performance management took a giant leap in what is known as "inside-out monitoring," that is, monitoring from inside the application. Before that, application monitoring was largely limited to tracking CPU, memory, disk, and process availability. BCI offered new opportunities in terms of how applications could be monitored and what could be monitored from an application performance perspective.
