The Year-2 Price Cliff: What Your Observability Stack Really Costs Over 3 Years

Oct 5, 2026 By MS Michelle Sebek In VictoriaMetrics
I’m not the one whose phone lights up at 3 a.m. when production breaks. But I’ve spent years working alongside the engineers who are, and I’ve noticed that observability migrations happen for two reasons. Either engineering needed one, or, far more often, a quote landed that looked too good to refuse. The engineers rarely regret the first kind. The second kind they tell me about in year two, usually with a renewal notice in hand.

Dr. Cat Hicks on the Psychology of Software Teams

Oct 1, 2026 By Rox Williams In Honeycomb
What happens when a software engineer who has put their entire identity into being the resident expert of an obscure technology or language with ten years of experience and who knows the codebase like the back of their hand now has to compete with AI? Psychologically speaking, according to Dr. Cat Hicks, author of The Psychology of Software Teams and founder of Catharsis, that's called identity threat, and it's a surefire way to feel unsafe. We were honored Dr.

Tutorial: How to Use ChaosSearch with Grafana for Observability

Sep 30, 2026 By Greg Goldsmith In ChaosSearch
In my last blog post, Building a Cost-Effective Full Observability Solution Around Open APIs and CNCF Projects, we introduced using ChaosSearch in combination with the most popular open source front- and back-ends in the application observability space. In case you missed it, the TL;DR version is that you can use a variety of open source projects and open API-based components to build the best-of-breed observability stack of your choice rather than relying on expensive, all-in-one solutions.

Agents Need Context: Introducing Canvas Connectors, Fleet-wide AI Agent Visibility, and More

Sep 29, 2026 By Dan Juengst In Honeycomb
Earlier this year, we introduced more capabilities to support agents in production, a more chaotic, complex environment that requires a tremendous amount of context to understand. Unlike tools that capture shallow, pre-aggregated metrics, or cannot join a metric, trace, and log in one query, Honeycomb retains the context and connective tissue from telemetry data to build a nuanced view of production.

Introducing AI Ecosystem: Zoom Out to See Your Whole AI Agent Fleet

Sep 29, 2026 By Dan Juengst In Honeycomb
A few months ago, we launched Agent Timeline to close the gap between knowing an agent failed and understanding why. It took the tangled reality of a multi-agent, multi-trace workflow and rendered it as a single, readable conversation: every LLM call, tool invocation, handoff, and downstream system span laid out in the order they happened.
