From insight to impact: Key takeaways from our DORA webinar with Nathen Harvey

For most engineering leaders, getting a DORA dashboard up and running feels like a huge win. You can finally track performance, compare it to industry benchmarks, and report on your progress. But then a nagging question settles in: how do you actually make the numbers go up? That frustration points to a common gap between the dashboard and the daily engineering practices that drive those outcomes.

Automated BSoD (Blue Screen of Death) Monitoring and Troubleshooting

Yes, BSoDs are still cropping up in high-impact ways in 2025, from flawed Windows updates (especially 24H2 patches) to driver rollouts and heavily-threaded server environments. It remains essential for IT admins to track event reports, test updates in staging, enable rollback strategies, and be prepared with recovery mechanisms.

Observability Day San Francisco: The Future of AI and Observability Is Bright

AI and observability are no longer separate conversations—they’re deeply intertwined. Across keynotes, panels, and demos, speakers at Honeycomb's Observability Day San Francisco unpacked what that means for engineering teams today: faster insights, smarter tools, and new challenges to solve.

OpenTelemetry Observability: An In-Depth Look at Features and Best Practices

OpenTelemetry (OTel) is a unified framework of APIs, SDKs and tools, for collecting, processing, and exporting telemetry data (logs, metrics, and traces) across applications and infrastructure. OTel is especially required in today’s cloud-native world, where applications run on microservices, Kubernetes, and distributed systems.

Cloud vs Colocation: Choosing the right solution for your business

Wipe It Clean, Sell It Smart: The Right Way to Retire Your Servers

Selling servers is about more than moving hardware, it's about controlling risk. Inside every decommissioned unit sits sensitive data most businesses forget to address. Deleting files or formatting disks doesn't erase information. That oversight can cost millions, damage trust, or lead to serious legal consequences. Before a sale, every server must go through proper data sanitization. This process isn't just technical, it's strategic. It protects your clients, your team, and your brand. This guide walks you through the process, from data erasure methods to resale pricing. The goal.

5 Ways IoT Devices Improve Efficiency in Commercial Vehicle Fleets

Commercial vehicle fleets run on efficiency, where every delay adds cost and every wasted mile affects profit. IoT devices change this reality by providing real-time data that improves fleet decisions. Connected sensors inside vehicles capture information on location, performance, and driver behavior. This visibility allows managers to act quickly, reduce risks, and keep operations running smoothly.
