Infinite Retention with OpenTelemetry and Honeycomb
The needs of observability workloads can sometimes be orthogonal to the needs of compliance workloads. Honeycomb is designed for software developers to quickly fix problems in production, where reducing 100% data completeness to 99.99% is acceptable to receive immediate answers. Compliance and audit workloads require 100% data completeness over much longer (or "infinite") time spans, and are content to give up query performance in return.
