'What if we treated observability like we treat tests? We don’t submit code without a test, so let’s do the same with o11y: treat it as part of the feature while the code is still fresh in our mind.' JamieDanielson on observability-driven development

Observability isn't a luxury; it's a necessity!

Using OpenTelemetry, logs can evolve into comprehensive traces, giving real-time insights into an app's performance. 🔭

“Just because you didn’t think of it doesn’t make it an edge case”

Lessons from a production incident
- instrument your code
- use feature flags
- iterate and improve(reduce the problem and implement the fix)

See ya in Dublin for some storytime!

Do you smoke test? Should you? 💨

Adding #SmokeTests early in the lifecycle of a new project helps our team gain confidence in building features and upgrading dependencies.

💡 Effective #observability is powerful because it enables devs to innovate faster + maintain high reliability. That’s the driving force of @OpenTelemetry.

Tomorrow, JamieDanielson will dive into what OTel is and how to implement it. Join us:

I am spinning up a new team at Honeycomb to invest in telemetry pipelines!

The team will own our investment in the #opentelemetry Collector and other honeycomb.io OSS projects like Refinery. 🧵

It really is tragic

I love that I get to work with such an incredible group of people at honeycomb.io

This round helps us keep doing awesome things. Onward and upward!

This is mind boggling to me. I'd never even considered that not everyone has this going on all day long.

Pfizer shot 1 = sore arm for a day.
Pfizer shot 2 = felt like a hangover for a day, then fine after that.

Well... actually more than fine, ecstatic and relieved to have gotten vaccinated.

Damn Steak-umm color me impressed

Never underestimate the power of walking away from your code and revisiting with a fresh set of eyes! I was banging my head against a wall Friday night and this morning it was ... so obvious!

Today I helped a student colleague of mine debug an @ApolloGraphQL query.

He had the right idea, and even had the documentation open. Yet he couldn't get the code to work. Why not?

Had an amazing first week at honeycomb.io! Thrilled to be working with such an incredible group of people!
