Lots of new followers on this account recently. Maybe because of the Developers Who Write starter pack? In any case, thanks for the follow!

We're doing something a bit different (and cool!) with APM at Honeybadger... Josh writes up some of our thoughts on the blog:
honeybadger.io Honeybadger.io @honeybadger.io · 13d
APMs drown you in data you'll never use, yet can't answer questions when production breaks.

Our co-founder Josh explores why—it's not lack of data, it's paying for complexity that doesn't translate to capability.

The APM paradox: Too much data, too few answers
Most dev teams don't need 47 dashboards or petabytes of logs—they need answers at 2 AM. Explore the evolution from APM to observability.

Huge thanks to @marcoroth.dev for turning around this Herb feature request on the same day I made it. You're a true honey badger (laudatory). 😁 🧡

The only thing scarier than errors in your logs is not knowing about them. 👻

Honeybadger turns your cryptic logs into actionable alerts with all the context you need to exorcise those errors fast.

Sleep better knowing we're watching for the things that go bump in your logs.

Traditional APM tools bury you in dashboards you'll never use. Meanwhile, the things you actually care about require complex custom instrumentation. That's why we built smart dashboards that adapt to your stack. 🧵 👇

Honeybadger is a great way to monitor your @hanamirb.org apps in production. When an error happens, we instantly alert you with rich context, smart issue grouping (reduces noise), and advanced search/query tools to help you fix the issue before users complain.

"If you are trans, a migrant, black, overweight, childless, have ADHD, then in DHH’s view you are somehow inferior. Instead of raising up and supporting the marginalised and vulnerable, DHH choses to exclude and punch down. This is not something the Ruby community can continue to simply ignore." 🎯

I'm at @elixirconf.bsky.social today and tomorrow. Looking forward to catching up with old Elixir friends and making some new ones—and chatting about the latest in Elixir observability and monitoring, of course.

Say hello if you see me!

My favorite part from @bencurtis.com's #RailsConf talk was when he explained CGI environment variables and how they still show up in our systems today (including in Honeybadger!).

Fun memories from the days of early web dev.
