3 things you need to know about headless observability

If you're building agents trying to figure out the best way to actually make them successful in production, you're going to want to know about headless observability. Headless observability means an agent can access information about the health of your system through a CLI instead of clicking around dashboards. It's the data layer that going to unlock serious autonomy and allow you to scale with agentic workloads.

Honeycomb Achieves the AWS Financial Services Competency

Honeycomb is proud to share that we have achieved the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Financial Services Competency. This recognition validates our technical expertise and proven customer success in assisting financial services organizations with building, running, and understanding their production systems on AWS. Securing this competency is a direct response to our customers’ feedback in this space: observability in regulated, high-stakes environments requires more than dashboards and alerts.

Observability for the Agent Era: Day 2 | Launches

Honeycomb's Innovation Week: Observability for the Agent Era (May 12-14) For Day 2 of Innovation Week, Honeycomb's product and engineering teams will take you inside the new capabilities purpose-built for the agent era. Expect live demos, real scenarios, and a hands-on look at what it means to own observability for the Agentic era, with AI in Honeycomb to observe AI in production. A 3-Day Virtual Event for Teams Building the Future May 12: Get insights on how the best engineering teams are tackling the challenges of the agentic era.

Honeycomb Innovation Week: Debugging Agentic Workflows with Ken Rimple

Canvas skills are how your team's runbooks and tribal knowledge become an active part of the investigation instead of a document someone has to remember to open. Pre-built skills cover the most common investigation patterns out of the box. Custom skills let you encode the specific context, thresholds, and decision logic your team has accumulated, so every auto-investigation starts with your best thinking already applied.

From Monitoring to Observability: How DEX Integrations Strengthen IT Visibility and User Productivity

When I started working in IT in the last 90’s, IT performance was always measured by the health of infrastructure: CPU utilization, network latency, server uptime, and for many organizations, little has changed in the last 30+ years. We became very good at keeping systems alive, yet users still struggled to get work done. That disconnect is exactly why Digital Employee Experience (DEX) has emerged as a critical discipline. But DEX on its own is not the end goal.

Observability for the Agent Era: Day 1 | Keynotes

Honeycomb's Innovation Week: Observability for the Agent Era (May 12-14) For Day 1 of Innovation Week, Honeycomb co-founders Christine Yen and Charity Majors will share what it actually takes to understand and debug systems in the agent era, and what the best engineering teams are doing differently. A 3-Day Virtual Event for Teams Building the Future May 12: Get insights on how the best engineering teams are tackling the challenges of the agentic era.

Innovation Week Day 2: Observability for AI, and Observability With AI

AI is reshaping the SDLC in two directions at once. AI-generated code is shipping faster and with less human supervision than ever before, while agents and LLMs are running directly in production, where they behave very differently from traditional software: non-deterministic, with a wider blast radius than any single function or component, with no stack trace to catch when something goes wrong.

Honeycomb Innovation Week: Observability With AI With Kale and Taylor

Watch this video to see the re-imagined Canvas in action, where auto-investigation has already ranked your hypotheses before you open the tab, multiplayer agents build on each other's work in real time, and a custom skill encoding your team's own runbook can reprioritize the entire incident before you've had your morning coffee.
