Honeycomb is an observability service that ingests rich data from production systems and makes it manageable through dynamic sampling. Developers can log large amounts of rich events and later decide how to slice and correlate them. This interactive approach is useful when working with today's large distributed systems, because we've passed the point where we can reasonably anticipate which questions we might want to ask of production systems. The Honeycomb team is actively developing for a number of languages and frameworks with plugins now available for Go, Node, Java and Rails among others; other new features are being added at a rapid pace. The pricing model has also been simplified to make it more attractive. Our teams love it.
