For the first time: @honeycomb.io is hiring open roles in Australia!!! We have this senior role open as well as a mid-level role. job-boards.greenhouse.io/honeycomb/jo... Once we fill these, we will have a thriving APAC team of 5 people: Field CTO, account exec, customer architect, and 2 support.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but Blazor doesn't use NPM, use that information as you will.

It’s only been a couple of days since #o11yDaySFO, and we’re still buzzing.💛 From keynotes to panels to demos, the day showed how AI and observability are shaping the future. Stay up to date on future events: buff.ly/Qz5wTxH #honeycomb #observability

🚀 The first drop of #AIWeek is here: Honeycomb MCP is GA! Now with BubbleUp, heatmaps, and histograms, giving humans + AI agents a smarter way to explore and understand systems. 👉 Read all about it here: buff.ly/P5U05Sc #honeycomb #AI #observability

Using Aspire for workshop code is a true game changer for the attendees. Being able to clone the repo and have ports auto-generated and connected means that we can get to the complicated stuff so much faster.

y'all @ctrlspice.bsky.social is doing some SQL dark magic with @duckdb.org. This builds and flattens a trace waterfall from the raw OpenTelemetry span data in one SQL query 🤯 (It even handles incomplete traces with orphan subtrees) github.com/CtrlSpice/ot...

Technologists use many confusing numerical abbreviations. It's important to know what they stand for. a13y: antimachinery o11y: octocentenary k8s: kittenless i18n: intercrystallization l10n: liverpudlian

OpenTelemetry tracing is live in SvelteKit! Huge s/o to @stracke.tech for all the help along the way. SvelteKit can now emit OTEL spans for all of its serverside constructs. It also provides an instrumentation file to easily set up trace exports. svelte.dev/blog/sveltek...

What you thought your code was doing versus what it is actually doing in production. The team at Gearset shared how Honeycomb helped them see the difference. 👉 Join us at Observability Day San Francisco on September 11. Register here: buff.ly/KfVUYrq #honeycomb #observability #o11yDaySFO

AWS is a billing system masquerading as a cloud provider.

AI coding assistants with observability? Honeycomb’s integrating Cursor with MCP so AI can query traces, metrics & SLOs—right from your IDE. Faster, more accurate debugging is here. Read more: buff.ly/So2KoEc #honeycomb #observability #AI

* **Full OpenTelemetry Integration:** Deep observability into your message flows with comprehensive **OpenTelemetry** support. Trace messages across transports, outboxes, inboxes, and even claim-check patterns to diagnose performance issues and understand the full lifecycle of messages.

If you're interested in Event Driven Architecture, Observability and Beards, this is definitely the talk for you! We tried to demystify what options you have to make instrumentation work for you when Asynchronous communication is the norm in your application. Let us know whether it helped!

This was a tough talk to get right, and I'm not convinced @icooper.bsky.social and I got everything. At the very least, I hope it made you think about how you instrument your Event Driven Apps. www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7K5...

At London O11y Day, @Liz Fong-Jones said it best: “Honeycomb is about raising the ceiling and the floor.” Catch her keynote in SF on Sept 11—how why AI can empower SRE teams and make observability more accessible for all. Register: buff.ly/j72AYIH

It's amazing that after a breach, there's a tonne of money for info sec too, but after some downtime there's still no money to level up observability. I'm not talking just about tooling though, it's about people, infrastructure resources, and general appetite to spend money.

Yorkshire is indisputably God's Own County, because it's the only one mentioned in the Bible. "Three men came from the East Riding on camels"

Does anyone know a lot about cloudflare's domain modelling? I'm specifically looking at potentially pro pricing, but I have 20 domains that are all pointing at the same place via CNAME's. I'm trying to workout how I can not pay 20x $20/month to get pro for them all. I basically want analytics.

I live!! Just getting back on the social horse. This will be my new home for posting about all things #opentelemetry, plus some of the filmmaking I've been up to. Stay tuned!

As if there weren't already 546 reasons to use @honeycomb.io, you also get access to our Slack community where our engineers and customers share their weird and funny graphs Behold: "Crocodile 1 eating Crocodile 2 who's slightly looking away from the camera" Or "rainstorms in the great plains"

Reminder that I have a custom feed here about OpenTelemetry and Observability, its using HackerNews style rankings so it stays pretty fresh. bsky.app/profile/did:...

London people! Tomorrow I'll be at @ldnug.org doing the first run of a brand new talk, "How ChatGPT Happened", looking at the history of AI from 1943 until now. Also @davidwhitney.co.uk will be doing a brand new talk, "Code As Art", which I'm really looking forward to seeing. Link in reply.

Being good at the boring work is the true power of amazing engineers. You don't need to invent stuff every time. In fact, the boring features are the ones that make most of the money. Get good at building mundane things, and find joy in that, and you'll go far in software.

I'm seeing an interesting trend of people with more interest in both trace analytics and adding business context to telemetry (wide events) specifically because it means that the AI agents have a better experience with rich, contextual data. You know that would have also helped the humans right?

www.reddit.com/r/dotnet/com... Most people in this thread were making things worse for the poster, not better. Serilog and OpenTelemetry can co-exist people! Serilog does things that otel doesn't (and won't) do. If you don't need them, use Otel Also, stop saying that OpenTelemetry is tracing.

I'm going to have to change thr algorithm on the Observability/OpenTelemetry feed on here. There's one company posting promoted, low quality, news articles that makes me not want to look at it. One or 2 wasnt bad, but its get to 5+ a day now.

I'm doing a webinar with @piers.dev from Pulumi tomorrow. He's setup the Pulumi project as "Honeycomb-workshop", I've setup the Honeycomb team as "Pulumi-workshop". It made me giggle way too much.

There are so many reasons we can't have nice things

The o11ycast I did with @maddymontaquila.net is up. Expect some profanity and (weird for me) some praise about Aspire :D We talked about the massive positive impact that Aspire is having on the .NET community accepting OpenTelemetry as the standard. www.heavybit.com/library/podc...

Anyone here know Dan Hollick? I'm trying to get ahold of him to come on my podcast

I've just vibe coded a trigger in @honeycomb.io using the new @pulumi.com terraform provider integration. Providing the terraform provider is fairly self explanatory, the agents seem pretty code at just creating it for you. Also, since it's actual code, it's really readable too. #IaC #o11y

Honeycomb is proud to be named a Visionary in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Observability Platforms. Thank you to our customers and community for pushing us forward every day. buff.ly/qMhHOTd #Honeycombio #GartnerMagicQuadrant #Observability

Using a Coding Assistant is the new Resharper. Back when Resharper was new, lots of people refused to use it, saying it suggested the wrong things, that it made people lazy. Some of that was (and is) true, but on the whole, it's not. If you know how to code, assistants can accelerate a solo dev.

When you're debugging a customer issue, the last thing you want is to wait. With #HoneycombTelemetryPipeline's Enhance feature, you get fast, targeted access to full-fidelity logs with no storage overhead or rehydration delay. Watch here: buff.ly/0eAvCFT

I've currently got an AI building my @pulumi.com/@honeycomb.io workshop code while I go and make a sandwich. If the AI can't follow the steps, I probably need to simplify them as the attendees will find it hard to follow too. I think that's a pretty cool use case to be honest.

I've just recorded an episode for o11ycast with @maddymontaquila.net on Aspire. We talked about Aspire Deployments, and one "potentially" valid use case for it, that I don't hate, more... "mild dislike" I think we hit "fuck's per episode" quota very early in the episode, maybe don't play it loud?

I'm running the online version of my "From Keyboard to Keynote" workshop next month! Two half-days full of tips, practical advice, & hands-on exercises about creating and delivering awesome technical presentations. dylanbeattie.net/kb2kn Early bird tickets only £225. You should join. It'll be ace.

Hey @martindotnet.bsky.social , would love a quick opinion 🙂 We're using problem details to provide our API clients with information about issues with the requests (validation, domain, etc), including a trace id in the payload.

Today, @jessitron.bsky.social and I used a tool to debug the environment we're using to make a video about the tool. It's our new "Enhance" tool that gives you access to 100% of your telemetry data, even though you've only ingested, and paid for, a small portion of it in Honeycomb.

Unit tests are the drummer of your software band. With them, you feel safe that you're on the right track, without them, you really notice. It's subtle and noticeable They add to your software without the general user noticing And for the people who appreciate them, it's the thing they look for

If you have a website and an email address on it that you suggest, "contact us for a quote," but you don't actually check the email. What the hell is the point? When email required an office and a desktop machine, I could understand, but you can get them on your phone.

Microsoft Fabric is so confusing, from the tooling sprawl to the pricing structure. I hate that this is what makes it such a viable product because they've managed to create an ecosystem of consultants that you need to use to make it work, which in turn become your sales team.

Okay, this joke thread failed to do anything on Mastodon, let's see what happens over here where I have 2 followers...

I've started to come around to the thinking that every programmer needs to spend a significant amount of time creating something "real" in at least 2 other languages than their favourite. Not a play project, something you've deployed, that ends up being used, that you have to support and update.

Table testing in go is great, that doesn't mean you should apply it to literally every test. If you're testing code has to have a switch based on an input from the table, you're doing it wrong. Tests should be readable and understandable, they're not just there for regression checks.
