Adding config to AWS ECS tasks

When deploying Docker containers to AWS ECS, you can encounter a situation where you want to run an image that requires some configuration. For example, let's say you wanted to run Vector1 as a sidecar to your main application so you can ship your application's metrics to a service like Honeybadger Insights. To run Vector, you only need to provide one configuration file (/etc/vector/vector.yaml) to the image available on Docker Hub.

Observable systems with wide events

Oh, I didn't see you there. Hi, I'm Kevin, a developer here at Honeybadger. I've worked for the last year or so developing Honeybadger Insights, our new logging and observability platform. Let's peek into some of the design decisions and philosophy behind the product. In modern software development, the hunt for observable systems has traditionally revolved around the holy trinity of logs, metrics, and traces.

Introducing Honeybadger Insights

I'm pleased to announce a new feature that we've been building for over a year: Honeybadger Insights. Insights is our take on logging and performance monitoring, helping application developers gain deeper visibility into what's happening with their applications. It goes beyond application monitoring and responding to exceptions and downtime. Insights lets you drill down into the details and step back to see patterns in your data.
