Honeycomb
Honeycomb is a web observability platform for tracing, querying, and debugging distributed systems and AI agent workflows.
In inglese
Honeycomb collects structured telemetry, including logs, metrics, and traces, then lets engineering teams query it to investigate production issues. Canvas provides AI-assisted investigations, while Agent Timeline shows LLM calls, tool invocations, handoffs, and downstream spans.
It is used by developers, SREs, and platform teams for incident response, service monitoring, and AI application debugging. The Free plan is limited to 20M events and 100M metrics data points per month; add-ons and enterprise services may cost extra.
Features
- Query high-cardinality logs, metrics, and traces
- Trace distributed systems in waterfall views
- Investigate telemetry with Canvas AI Copilot
- Inspect LLM calls, tool calls, and agent handoffs
- Use BubbleUp to find differences in outlier events
- Create triggers and service-level objectives
- Receive telemetry through OpenTelemetry
- Connect AI tools through Honeycomb MCP
Use cases
- Debug slow or failing requests across distributed services
- Investigate production incidents with shared telemetry
- Trace AI agent decisions, tools, and handoffs
- Monitor service health with metrics and SLOs
- Find unusual patterns in high-cardinality event data
Pros
Cons
Latest updates
- New alert type: Group resolution alerts
Grouped triggers can send per-group resolution alerts with per-group recipient routing.
- A fresh look for Honeycomb
Honeycomb refreshed the UI design, moved Canvas up in the sidebar, and made low-count heatmap buckets and outliers visible.
- More Canvas Connectors
Canvas Agents now connect to Amplitude, Atlassian, Braintrust, Checkly, incident.io, Notion, Pylon, and Sentry.
- Suggested Board Templates
Home now suggests board templates matched to data from recognized services or stacks.
- Onboarding: Send Sample Traces
The Send Data page now offers sample scenarios that send realistic traces into an environment.
