Introducing Honeycomb Intelligence MCP Server - Now GA!

In the months since we launched our public beta, we’ve been hard at work making Honeycomb MCP more useful and capable for agents and human operators alike. Our goal with this project has been, from the start, to allow AI to engage in the same kind of investigatory loops that we guide users towards. Many of the new features are designed expressly with this in mind, the most exciting of which is BubbleUp, now available in.

Observability and Monitoring Governance (Part 1 of 4)

In contrast to the many flavors of governance used for IT, such as data governance, audit and compliance, and governance and security, IT monitoring governance lacks a definition in many organizations. This is true even as teams have decades of experience monitoring the health, performance, and availability of applications, infrastructures, networks, and user experience. Good monitoring governance “just sort of happens—naturally, organically.” Not exactly!

Custom OpenTelemetry Collectors: Build, Run, and Manage at Scale

I tried thinking back to when the last time I read an actual tutorial that did not include a bunch of em (—) dashes, semicolons, normal dashes, and an unnervingly large quantity of the phrases like “XYZ-thing Alert ” and “Exciting News!”. Well, hold on to your suspenders folks, here we go again. Part 2 is up and it’s a controversial one.

13 Cloud Cost Management Strategies (And How CloudZero Can Help)

Cloud cost management is a big deal right now. For instance, 58% of organizations say their cloud costs are too high, according to our State of Cloud Cost report. Over the last five years, several other studies have shown that controlling cloud spend is a top cloud computing challenge. There’s more. As AI adoption accelerates, a new challenge has emerged: managing the rapidly growing costs of AI in a scalable and intelligent way.

Balancing Innovation and Data Privacy: Best Practices for Blockchain Developers

Blockchain technology holds revolutionary capabilities. Its very emergence was born out of the urgency for decentralized platforms that can offer secure and transparent transactions. When its potential is fully exploited, users can secure sensitive data, personal identities, and seamlessly conduct transactions. However, these core features that make blockchains unique sometimes have to contend with dynamic privacy regulations like GDPR's "Right to Erasure", which can expose the system to data theft and other cyberattacks.

Why the DOT Employment Physical Is Essential for Road Safety

Commercial driving involves long hours, heavy responsibility, and constant focus. Operators of large vehicles carry valuable cargo and also have the safety of other road users in their hands. For this reason, professional drivers are required to meet specific health standards before stepping behind the wheel. These requirements are not arbitrary; they are carefully designed to prevent accidents caused by health-related issues.
