ICYMI: Honeycomb Developer Week: The Partner Ecosystem
Blog post from Honeycomb
Honeycomb Developer Week featured a collaborative event where experts from companies like Apollo GraphQL, Cloudflare, LaunchDarkly, and PagerDuty shared insights on enhancing observability skills. Highlights from Day 3 included new Honeycomb features such as CONCURRENCY for visualizing running spans, RATE operators for rate of change visualization, and auto query on zoom for time-range analysis. Reliable alerting was demonstrated through integration with PagerDuty, which enhances Honeycomb Triggers for quick and efficient incident response. Dawn Parzych's session on feature flags emphasized their role in progressive delivery, allowing developers to test new features with low-risk users before broader deployment. Additional sessions covered Honeycomb’s integration with CircleCI for efficient build visualization, Apollo GraphQL for deeper request tracing, and Cloudflare Workers for tracing requests in serverless architectures. The event underscored the importance of building observability into development workflows to improve system performance and reliability.
