Honeycomb Intelligence Released

Honeycomb announced the launch of Honeycomb Intelligence, an AI-native observability suite optimized for developers. 

The new AI-powered products accelerate debugging and code delivery by bringing observability into the IDE, improve investigations with an interactive co-pilot, and automatically detect performance anomalies. By combining the unmatched speed of Honeycomb's proprietary database with seamless access to terabytes of contextual data, Honeycomb Intelligence empowers every developer to understand their systems without slowing down.

Honeycomb Intelligence provides teams with a collaborative assistant that can deliver sub-second query responses across billions of events—performance that makes real-time AI assistance possible. Honeycomb's event-based observability model means AI insights get richer as your systems grow more complex, not slower or more expensive.

"Existing observability solutions aren't built for the AI era, where speed, interactivity, and scale are paramount," said Emily Nakashima, SVP of Engineering at Honeycomb. "Honeycomb Intelligence allows us to redefine what is possible for observability tools. Every engineer can debug like an expert from day one and teams can build truly interactive feedback loops that work 10x faster."

Honeycomb Intelligence introduces three new products that address critical needs in modern engineering workflows. This unified suite is seamlessly integrated and works out of the box, without requiring teams to orchestrate different AI tools or worry about agent-to-agent communication failures.

  • Honeycomb MCP Server accelerates debugging and code delivery by bringing Honeycomb's powerful observability model directly into AI-powered IDEs such as Cursor and Claude Code. Developers can investigate issues, run BubbleUp on them, detect outliers, and visualize heatmaps and histograms without leaving their workflow.
  • Honeycomb Canvas transforms complexity into confident action with an AI-guided workspace that pairs natural language interaction with rich, interactive visualizations. Engineers can ask questions, run multi-step investigations, and seamlessly share insights with teammates inside Honeycomb or in tools like Slack.
  • Honeycomb Anomaly Detection is an early warning system for service health that learns normal service behavior and highlights meaningful deviations before they impact customers. It reduces false positives and eliminates alert fatigue so that teams can focus on fixing real problems instead of chasing noise.

Honeycomb Intelligence is available now to all Honeycomb customers at no additional cost. 

The Latest

Enterprises today operate in a real-time environment where uninterrupted access to trusted data has become a baseline expectation for users, applications and automated systems. Traditional DataOps models, built on manual effort and human triage, cannot keep pace with this always active demand. AI agents are emerging as the operational backbone, ensuring consistent data availability, reinforcing trustworthiness and enabling a level of scale that manual processes cannot achieve ...

For decades, trust in the digital workplace rested on familiar signals. We trusted faces on video calls, voices on the phone, and emails that appeared to come from people we knew. These cues felt human and intuitive. They anchored how decisions were made, approvals were granted, and access was authorized. AI-powered deepfakes have quietly broken that model ...

Cloud migration was supposed to be a one-way door. For most enterprises, it turns out it isn't. Cloud data repatriation is a real and growing trend. A new survey ... finds that 89% of organizations plan to expand their on-premises infrastructure footprint over the next two years — and 75% have already moved at least some workloads back from public cloud in the past 24 months. The findings point to a broad rethinking of where data belongs ...

Over the past few years, large language models (LLMs) have revolutionized the software industry. Given their ability to excel at multi-step reasoning, LLMs have helped enterprises streamline workflows and adapt to the unknown. However, employing such models comes with sky-high costs, latency issues, and limited flexibility. In the realm of IT operations, it is generally wiser to employ smaller, domain-specific models instead ...

For years, DevOps teams operated under a simple assumption: collect enough telemetry, and you can find and fix any problem. That assumption is breaking down. Modern enterprises now operate across microservices, hybrid cloud environments, APIs, Kubernetes, and highly automated delivery pipelines. Releases happen continuously, dependencies shift constantly, and failures spread faster than teams can diagnose them ...

New Relic surveyed IT and engineering leaders from the media and entertainment (M&E) sector to understand what's working — and where challenges persist with their observability practices. The findings reveal how M&E organizations are navigating rising platform complexity, audience expectations, and AI-driven change. Below are five takeaways that stand out ...

Let me start with something I've seen play out more times than I can count. A team hits a wall with the cloud. Costs creep up, then spike. Performance starts to feel inconsistent. Someone in finance asks a simple question like "why did this double?" and nobody has a clean answer ... Maybe this isn't the right place for everything. That realization feels like a breakthrough, like you've identified the problem. In reality, you've just identified the starting line ...

In MEAN TIME TO INSIGHT Episode 24, Shamus McGillicuddy, VP of Research, Network Infrastructure and Operations, at EMA discusses network observability tool sprawl ... 

In cloud-native systems, scaling is often as simple as moving a slider. For on-premise databases, the stakes are different. Over-provisioning hardware is expensive. Under-provisioning leads to performance bottlenecks that are difficult to fix once the equipment is in the rack ...

When most people think about cybersecurity, they picture firewalls, encryption, and access controls — technical tools designed to protect systems and data. But beneath the technology lies a deeper set of principles about trust, decision-making, and resilience ... The best leaders don't eliminate risk. They manage it intelligently. And in many ways, cybersecurity offers a surprisingly useful playbook for doing exactly that ...
