Honeycomb Observability Day London: A Jam-Packed Day of Great Talks

Visualizing Session Flow With Honeycomb

I want to know what users are doing in my application. A distributed trace is the best way to show the data flow of one user interaction through my application, but it isn’t sufficient to show the overall user experience.

New Feature: Manage Your session.id in Honeycomb’s Web SDK

The session.id field is special in Honeycomb for Frontend Observability. It’s a default option for filtering and grouping, and it’s the basis for session timeline analysis (in Early Access). Now you can control how session.id is set.

AI for Software Engineering is Just Another “Paradigm Shift”

How many of you started with technologies you still use exactly the same way today? Even if you’re a master Lisp/Clojure developer, you’ve still evolved, right? I should really get my head around those parentheses some day.

Wiring Up a Next.js Self-Hosted Application to Honeycomb

This blog post will get you started ingesting your Next.js application’s telemetry into Honeycomb. I’ll show you the configuration steps, how to view your traces in Honeycomb, and even how to explore your frontend React telemetry with our Frontend Observability Web Launchpad.

Configuring a React Application with Honeycomb For Frontend Observability

In this article, I’ll lay out approaches for wiring Honeycomb to client-side only React so you can ingest your telemetry into Honeycomb and take advantage of the Web Launchpad. This telemetry sends semantically-named attributes, and can be used with any OTLP destination.

Troubleshooting CORS Errors in Offsite API Calls

In this article, I’ll clear up the confusion around Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS), specifically discussing preflight requests, which are the bane of engineers everywhere.
