For a long time at Honeycomb, we envisioned using the tracing data you send us to generate a service map. If you’re unfamiliar, a service map is a graph-like visualization of your system architecture that shows all of its components and dependencies. We didn’t want it to be a static service map, though—the kind you’d view once before going “huh, neat”—and then never looking at it again.

Will artificial intelligence (AI) end up emphasizing the importance of human emotions? What’s next for company operating budgets? And is a reckoning coming for managed service providers (MSPs)?
