Honeycomb.io, or Honeycomb, is an American software company known for providing a platform for software observability of live applications, microservices and other processes. Honeycomb is focused on providing consumer-grade software monitoring and debugging tools. Honeycomb was founded in 2016 by Charity Majors and Christine Yen, both being former Facebook engineers.

History

Charity Majors in 2019

Honeycomb was founded in 2016 in San Francisco by Charity Majors and Christine Yen, with both being known for contributing to platforms such as Facebook and Parse (later acquired by Facebook). With Parse gone, Yen discussed with Majors about her idea of creating a startup. Majors wanted to build a tool that fixes problems with live applications running in the cloud, inspired by an important tool used internally at Facebook called Scuba. Investors gave them $4 million in seed money.

In 2023, Honeycomb announced that it has raised $50 million in Series D funding, following momentum in 2022 where it achieved another consecutive year of growth. The round was led by venture capital firm Headline, with participation from other existing investors. The funding will be used to accelerate Honeycomb's growth and expand its offerings, with plans to hire more engineers, open new offices and invest in research and development.

Features

Honeycomb is focused on providing consumer-grade software monitoring and debugging tools, which developers use to observe code on live applications, microservices and other processes in order to identify problems that may arise. Honeycomb has SDKs for Go, Python, and JavaScript. Structured JSON data also can be accepted, and Honeycomb's libraries help users instrument code.
