Platform engineering is great, but can you have too much of it? A recent survey shows that in large organizations, you *can* have too many platforms. A recent survey of large organizations shows that using more platforms results in more difficulties. Instead, platform standardization and centralization are key to reducing cognitive load and improving efficiency. Using fewer platforms benefits both developers and management by minimizing complexity and operational headaches.

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.
