Honeycomb Sandbox: Test Drive Honeycomb Without Signup or Setup
Blog post from Honeycomb
Honeycomb Sandbox offers an interactive, hands-on experience for users to explore Honeycomb's data-enriched user interface through a guided scenario, allowing them to identify, assess, and diagnose issues without needing to sign up. The scenario begins with a common problem—customers unable to process orders due to a timing out orders page—and guides users through analyzing this with tools like heatmaps, which visually represent data for quick issue identification. The BubbleUp workflow further aids in uncovering anomalies by asking complex questions, while Traces provide a detailed visual representation of request journeys to pinpoint specific issues, such as identifying slow events like the getDiscounts function due to a deployment. Users can explore additional features beyond the guided walkthrough, such as team activity histories and raw data views, with a hint system to assist in scenario progression, making it an ideal starting point for those new to Honeycomb or observability concepts.
