Honeycomb is an observability platform for debugging production systems. It stores event-driven data (raw events from your application) and enables querying any dimension without pre-aggregation. Engineers can quickly identify root causes by exploring high-cardinality data. Unlike monitoring tools (Datadog, New Relic) that store pre-computed metrics, Honeycomb stores raw events. This enables ad-hoc queries: "Show me requests from customer X that hit endpoint Y with latency > 5s."
