Honeycomb Signs 3-Year Strategic Collaboration Agreement with AWS

Honeycomb signed a three-year strategic collaboration agreement (SCA) with Amazon Web Services (AWS).

"The next chapter of Honeycomb's collaboration with AWS will unlock new technology capabilities as well as high-impact go-to-market opportunities, all designed to help developers build more resilient and intelligent software," said Matt Nelson, Chief Revenue Officer, Honeycomb. "This strategic collaboration agreement expands access to Honeycomb's observability platform at a time when organizations need every advantage possible to stay ahead of increasing complexity and deliver exceptional customer experiences."

The SCA enables Honeycomb and AWS enterprise customers to improve developer productivity and optimize cloud usage by combining high-fidelity observability data with AI-driven insight. 

Key benefits include:

  • Accelerated AI observability adoption: Organizations leverage Honeycomb to improve performance, manage costs, and empower engineering teams to build and operate more resilient AI applications.
  • Built for modern SRE practices: Engineering teams use Honeycomb to shorten incident response times, determine root cause across distributed systems, and ship changes with greater confidence across AWS environments.
  • Simplified procurement: Honeycomb is available in AWS Marketplace in the AI Agents and Tools category that allows customers to quickly realize value using Honeycomb Hosted Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server to advance their AI initiatives.

Honeycomb works extensively with AWS services, utilizing AWS Lambda for its operations. Honeycomb Intelligence, its AI-native observability suite optimized for developers, is built on Amazon Bedrock, a comprehensive, secure, and flexible platform for building generative AI applications and agents.

"Customers today need the ability to build, operate, and scale modern applications with the clarity and confidence that high-fidelity observability provides," said Allison Johnson, Director, Technology Partnerships at AWS. "This collaboration reflects our commitment to meeting customers where their complexity lives. By bringing Honeycomb's observability capabilities together with the scale and security of AWS, we're helping organizations reduce downtime, speed engineering velocity, and accelerate their modernization journey, empowering teams to deliver faster, more reliable experiences for their end users."

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.
