Honeycomb’s 2020 Blog Roundup

In 2020, Honeycomb's blog posts covered a wide range of topics, reflecting significant advancements and collaborations in observability and cloud services. One notable post was "Observability 101" by Shelby Spees, which became popular for demystifying complex terminology for beginners. The collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS) led to cost-saving optimizations and enhanced support for AWS features like Lambda Runtime Logs API and Event Ingestion with OTLP. Honeycomb also strengthened its involvement with OpenTelemetry, launching new exporters and simplifying management overhead. Service Level Objectives (SLOs) became a key enterprise feature, with posts guiding users on setting and managing SLOs effectively. Furthermore, Honeycomb introduced a simplified pricing model to make observability more accessible, and tackled sociotechnical challenges in software development. The year concluded with engaging technical walkthroughs on using Honeycomb with OpenTelemetry, Kubernetes, and more, setting the stage for continued innovation in 2021.
