Operations | Monitoring | ITSM | DevOps | Cloud

People with infrastructure experience and operational experience like “DevOps Engineer”, “SRE”, “Platform Engineer” have started to see those two skill sets diverge. It’s not very clear what that split means for these skilled technical people as they approach the next phase of their careers.

Distributed tracing is key to building and operating reliable services that make your customers happy. Traces pinpoint where failures occur and what causes poor performance. With tracing and observability, you can visualize the entire life cycle of service requests and discover hidden latency, errors, and optimization opportunities monitoring can’t show you. So why doesn’t everybody do it? Setting up tracing is notoriously difficult, but it doesn’t have to be. Honeycomb Instrumentation Engineer Paul Osman has the easy-breezy steps for you to get the tracing you deserve.

Now engineering and business speak the same language. Find out why you should care, how SLOs are critical to SRE practice, & how to keep your customers happy.

Clover Health puts patients and care providers first. Learn how they derived their first SLO for the benefit of those who matter most - their customers.

SLOs help you understand how your system works so that you know how to measure it. Dive deep into Honeycomb SLOs and determine the right path for your business.

A number of Honeycomb features have been released throughout spring 2019 that, collectively, we like to say deliver “hi-res” across the Engineering and DevOps lifecycle. What do we mean? First, hi-res with Honeycomb means you get clearer visibility about how your production is behaving in real time, as you release new code. Secondly, it means once you have those insights (thanks to granular event data stored in Honeycomb), you can debug and resolve more efficiently. So, how do we do it?

Honeycomb's Charity Majors and Liz Fong-Jones present five key areas for observability maturity and discuss how teams can calculate where they succeed and where they need to grow.

On-call teams use Honeycomb’s analytics to discover exactly what is happening with code in production. While incident response is a key reason engineers rely on Honeycomb, observability also delivers unique value during the development process. Eaze takes observability a step further and uses Honeycomb to prioritize what’s needed to stabilize their existing service while informing how they build their new Go and Node.js microservices platform all at the same time.

Nathan LeClaire, Sales Engineer @honeycombio knows first-hand that the key to instrumenting code is to start with baby steps. With Honeycomb, a little instrumentation will give vast insights as soon as you ingest your data. With Honeycomb Beelines, we take the heavy lifting out of instrumenting.
