Generating Calculated Fields From Natural Language

If you’ve been using Honeycomb for a bit, you know that Calculated Fields (otherwise known as derived columns) are a powerful way to transform your events to a format that’s easier to query and understand. However, they use a lisp-esque language that can be difficult to read and a pain to write. If you dislike making Calculated Fields and want something a little easier, here’s a generative AI prompt that can generate them from natural language.

Marty Weiner's AI Predictions: What to Expect in the Next 2 Years

How to Analyze Logs Using AI

Your tech stack is growing, and with it, the endless stream of log data from every device, application, and system you manage. It’s a flood—one growing 50 times faster than traditional business data—and hidden within it are the patterns and anomalies that hold the key to the performance of your applications and infrastructure. But here’s the challenge you know well: with every log, the noise grows louder, and manually sifting through it is no longer sustainable.

AI Agents: Your data sidekick (minus the coffee breaks)

Do you ever wish you had a personal data guru who could magically sift through all your data, spot patterns before they become problems, summarize everything in a way that actually makes sense and propose recommendations? Well, meet AI Agents—the “digital teammates” who do all that without demanding coffee breaks.

How AI broke serverless and what to do about it with Vercel's Mariano Fernández Cocirio

Mariano, Staff Product Manager at Vercel, explains why serverless architectures are hitting unexpected limits—they’re too fast. The industry has spent millions optimizing serverless for speed, but AI workloads are changing the game. In the AI realm, slower execution often leads to better results. The challenge? Paying for all that idle compute time while waiting for AI responses.

Will DevOps as We Know It Survive the AI Revolution?

Is DevOps on the brink of extinction? Solomon Hykes, co-founder of Docker and CEO of Dagger.io, explores how AI agents are transforming software development—not just writing code but shipping it. In this talk at Civo Navigate San Francisco 2025, Solomon retraces the history of software’s industrial revolution and examines whether AI will replace DevOps engineers or empower them. With live demos and expert insights, he reveals what’s next for the software factory and the future of platform engineering.

Simulating artificial intelligence service outages with Gremlin

The AI (artificial intelligence) landscape wouldn’t be where it is today without AI-as-a-service (AIaaS) providers like OpenAI, AWS, and Google Cloud. These companies have made running AI models as easy as clicking a button. As a result, more applications have been able to use AI services for data analysis, content generation, media production, and much more.

Does AI Help Write Better Software, or Just... More Code?

As software teams race to integrate AI into their development workflows, we need to ask ourselves: are AI-powered tools actually making software better? The latest research from DORA confirms what many engineers have long suspected, and what we at Honeycomb have said for a long time: AI tools don’t magically lead to better software. In fact, without careful implementation, AI can introduce a whole slew of challenges, including decreased productivity and unreliable code.
