Honeycomb Expansion in Europe Fueled by New Series C Investment Led by Insight Partners

Honeycomb, a leading observability platform for high-performance engineering teams, has expanded its presence into Europe with the appointment of Andy Hawkins as Regional Director and the close of a $50 million Series C funding round led by Insight Partners. This expansion aims to increase awareness of observability practices in Europe, grow Honeycomb’s customer base, and bolster support for both existing and new customers. Hawkins, who brings over 20 years of experience in DevOps and application performance management, is expected to lead Honeycomb’s growth and scale local support in the region. The company’s recent funding will also support initiatives such as hiring a new European team and investing in community events to integrate observability into modern DevOps and software development practices. Observability is rapidly gaining traction over traditional Application Performance Management (APM) tools because it effectively handles the complexity of modern cloud-native, microservices-based applications, providing enhanced data fidelity and exploratory tooling. Honeycomb's platform empowers companies like HelloFresh and Booking Holdings to optimize application performance through advanced data analysis and distributed tracing, leading to improved uptime, faster user experiences, and better business outcomes.
