You Can See Who Is Spiking Your Cloud Costs

With Honeycomb, you can use traces and wide attributes to find out who is spiking your cloud costs. Simply add attributes to your Lambdas and other serverless traces, use triggers to alert your team, and run Honeycomb Queries. This short video shows you a simple query flow.
