What We’re Building

Honeycomb defined the concept of observability and is raising expectations of what our developer tools can do! Honeycomb is the observability platform that enables engineering teams to find and solve problems they couldn't before. It enables engineers to answer novel questions about their ever-evolving cloud applications so they can deploy confidently, resolve incidents faster, and focus on high-value work that drives innovation. We’re working with well-known companies like HelloFresh, Slack, LaunchDarkly, Vanguard, and more across various industries. This is an exciting time in our trajectory; we’ve closed Series D funding, scaled past the 175- person mark, and were named to Forbes’ America’s Best Startups of 2022 and 2023!!
