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.

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
