The last 7 years at @honeycombio have been awesome and it’s exciting that we continue to thrive; we’ve raised $50M in series D funding! It’s amazing to be visibly changing this corner of the industry in which I’ve spent most of my career. Onward! honeycomb.io/blog/50-million…

Two years ago we talked about whether to add a Service Map to @honeycombio. My eye rolling comment at the time was “all sizzle, no steak.” Our team has cooked up a goddamned filet mignon. 🥩✨
26 Oct 2022
With the release of our latest innovations—a new Service Map and improvements to make BubbleUp more useful and accessible than ever—we’re setting the new standard for what #observability tools should be able to do for you. @cyen shares more:bit.ly/3TAbJ82

No particular reason I'm retweeting this, really ... umm.... (Thankfully the ancient power strip I was using just valiantly gave its life with far less 💥 in the face of a power surge and everything's fine. Buying new ones today.)

This is a PSA: audit and replace old surge protectors. Don’t be like Evan and use a 20 year old one.

It's so tempting to use the easily available metric to judge a thing. @mononcqc gets into why counting alerts doesn't let you judge oncall health, but maybe is still a useful signal to track to augment analysis. honeycomb.io/blog/counting-a…

A preternatural engineering team is one that can neutralize the supernatural abilities of computers and the internet. Also called "bit-breakers", "net-detanglers", or "exorcists". gailcarriger.fandom.com/wiki…

I want to point out that there's always an element of "conferenceware." The part that @lizthegrey isn't saying is that @honeycombio's engineering team is preternaturally good at their jobs. They're significantly ahead of the curve.

I watch our AWS bill on a regular basis to ensure we keep things in check. I use the Cost Explorer for much of this, but I use @honeycombio to understand what's behind our Lambda bill. I wrote up a post on it to share how! honeycomb.io/blog/aws-costs-…

I can’t even remember how many folks thought we were silly for entering “the crowded monitoring space”. We can say “no no, it’s different” till we’re blue in the face without visible effect, but now 7 years later the whole industry has recognized the shift. This is amazing.

Honeycomb ruffled the first of many feathers nearly 7 years ago when we coined the term “observability” in talking about production code, shares @cyen. Today we get to celebrate being a Leader in the @Gartner_inc #MagicQuadrant for #APM & #Observability! go.hny.co/3QaUZD4

Any demo that comes along with a “and this is how we measured the effect” is a winning demo in my book. ✨
At @intercom we have engineering demos every Friday, where people can show the cool things they have been working on. This week 100% of the demos included @honeycombio

On effects of self-censorship as a reaction to the public lambasting machinery of social media: “when an institution silences dissent, it shoots darts into its own brain”. theatlantic.com/magazine/arc… by @JonHaidt. Super curious whether historians in 30 years will agree with this.

Congrats to @lizthegrey and the @honeycombio team; such a great milestone! Benchmarks are one thing, but it's even better to see the cost saving, performance, and carbon footprint benefits of our Graviton2 processors on a real world workload! Fantastic! #aws #ec2 #graviton

Getting ready to open this position is the first time I've really ever explored what a Director at a tech company does. Knowing even a bit more renews my appreciation for the subtlety of the job. Is this you? Come work with me and help Honeycomb grow! jobs.lever.co/honeycomb/e0d3…
