Honeycomb Innovation Week: Announcing Our Partnership With Embrace

Honeycomb and Embrace are extending the rigorous, data-driven practice that Honeycomb pioneered for foundational to mobile and web, giving, site reliability, and platform teams a complete, correlated picture of system health. The strategic partnership makes understanding performance and reliability for every user and every screen part of the observability practice, bringing new depth and standardization to how teams measure end user impact.

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 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.
