Honeybadger.io

Most teams know Honeybadger for error tracking. Fewer know it also does logs. BadgerQL just got 48 new query functions. What share of your requests failed in the last hour? That's one query now. It’s included in every plan. Even the free one.

Datadog can be fine for large teams, but pricey. 💰 If you’re looking for alternatives, consider first just what exactly your team needs. Want help? Here’s an article breaking down the options and what you might want in a replacement. www.honeybadger.io/blog/datadog... #DevOps

Need to make lots of similar widgets? Want to test out changing a single variable? Duplicate that widget! If you haven’t set up a Honeybadger dashboard yet, we have automatic dashboards for Rails, Django, ActiveJob, and more. #DevOps

The Honeybadger balance board has a home! Thank you, @honeybadger.io! ♥️

Huge thank you to sponsor Honeybadger for their support of Ruby communities! Wait for the drawing for this sweet board this afternoon 👀

Sometimes, all you need is Starlette. ⭐ Our latest article covers Starlette's built-in middleware and the execution-order rules that keep your FastAPI applications secure and fast. Learn how to build Starlette middleware the right way! 🐍 #Python www.honeybadger.io/blog/starlet...

Summer’s winding down, but Honeybadger don’t care. We’re just warming up. 🦡 Here’s what we shipped in September. Shoutout to one of our customers for suggesting legible breadcrumb selectors in our JS package. #DevOps

JS now has full support in Honeybadger Insights. 🎊 Capture inbound HTTP requests to query and visualize them — no more piecing requests together from scattered logs. #JavaScript

We built uptime monitoring and check-ins to catch the issues that don’t throw errors. They’re included FREE in your Honeybadger account. Set them up in the sidebar of your Honeybadger page—you can be running in a few minutes. #devops

Fly logs works for a quick tail, but it doesn't scale. There’s no search and no way to tie a log line to the error it caused. Our new guide shows how Fly IO logging works and how to ship logs to Honeybadger Insights, where you can query and analyze. www.honeybadger.io/blog/fly-io-... #DevOps

LLMs don't understand our query language BadgerQL out of the box. If you ask an agent to write a query, it'll default to SQL instead. 🙃 Here's how Kevin used our existing tests to teach them BadgerQL — and measure whether the results even worked. www.honeybadger.io/blog/teachin... #DevOps

Honeybadger now integrates with Oban, a #Python port of the popular #Elixir background job library. 📚 - Failed workers are reported automatically. - Every job emits telemetry to Honeybadger Insights. - Requests that enqueue a job stay traceable throughout. Big thanks to @oban.pro for the support!

Your MCP client doesn’t need your whole API key just to look up an error anymore. Honeybadger's hosted MCP server now supports OAuth. You can approve it through your browser, scope and revoke your permissions, and rest easy knowing our tokens auto-refresh and don’t sit around. #Observability

Honeybadger brings your logs into the same place as your errors and performance data so that you can connect the dots faster. It's logging that actually helps you fix things. #Observability

Even Ruby creator Matz is coding with AI now. Our cofounder @bencurtis.com caught Matz’s keynote at RubyConf last month and returned with three takeaways. What do y’all think? Where is Ruby heading next? #RubyConf #Ruby

"Starlette vs FastAPI" is the wrong framing. One is built on the other. 🏗️ Here's what FastAPI actually adds on top of Starlette and Pydantic, and the handful of cases where you're better off dropping down a layer. www.honeybadger.io/blog/starlet... #Python #FastAPI

A good status page builds trust before your app breaks, and calms everyone down if (and when) it does. 😎 Check out these 10 status pages we love, and then learn how to build your own status page in Honeybadger. www.honeybadger.io/blog/status-... #DevOps

Over the last month, we've shipped several updates to make your day-to-day work lives a little smoother. 😎 Read about it in the changelog!

Our dashboards now support parameterized queries! They’re very useful when you want to filter a system dashboard by a specific server or hostname. You can even set parameters to individual customer IDs. Watch the video to see them in action! youtu.be/yS2QUHMiEV8?... #DevOps

We love the new Ruby Users Forum so much that we just became a founding sponsor. 😍 Ruby Users Forum founder @jvrc.ca saw that Ruby didn't have an independent standalone forum, so he built one. If you're a Rubyist, go check it out: rubyforum.org #Ruby

Next.js gives developers a structured way to handle errors at every level of an application, but you need to know how to use it. Learn how to manage expected errors, catch uncaught exceptions, and set up automatic error reporting. www.honeybadger.io/blog/next-js... #JavaScript #NextJS

When production breaks, you need answers. That's why our co-founders @bencurtis.com and @joshuawood.honeybadger.io built Honeybadger to help you move fast and fix things. That’s also why they still talk directly to our customers. If something's not working with your current setup, tell us.

Do you need a full framework like Next.js, or is React enough on its own? Here's how to pick the right one for your project: www.honeybadger.io/blog/next-js... #JavaScript #ReactJS #Nextjs

Choosing between Heroku's streamlined platform and AWS's infrastructure control shapes everything from deployment to scaling. Our latest article breaks down the architecture, tradeoffs, and costs to help engineers make the right choice. www.honeybadger.io/blog/heroku-... #AWS #Heroku

Here’s a preview of what we updated last month. As always, you can get more info in the Changelog. ⚙️ Status pages can be hosted at an apex domain. ⚙️ Automatic System dashboard for CLI users. ⚙️ Project environments get their own settings page. ⚙️ New Active Job dashboard for Rails. #RubyOnRails

Heroku and Vercel solve different problems. Before you pick one, it's worth understanding the architectural tradeoffs—especially how costs scale as your app grows. Here’s how to think through it: www.honeybadger.io/blog/heroku-... #Heroku #Vercel

Gave the API stats page in @honeybadger.io a lil navigation refresh.

HTTP wasn't built for chat. Here's how to add real-time messaging to your Django app using Django Channels and WebSockets. www.honeybadger.io/blog/django-... #Django #Python

I added "Copy page" and "View Markdown" actions to our @honeybadger.io docs. It re-renders the source markdown and converts relative links, images, and inline HTML/MDX/etc. Works well! Example: docs.honeybadger.io/guides/insig...

Here's the PR if you want a look behind the scenes: github.com/honeybadger-...

This was a fun collaboration with @excid3.com and can't wait for the features it will unlock at @hatchbox.io 🤘

I just added a one-shot script to install the Honeybadger CLI and a systemd service to get host metrics (CPU, RAM, and disk) sent to Insights: github.com/honeybadger-...

At some point, logs stop being enough. Whether you're evaluating an observability platform for the first time or reconsidering your current tools, there's a lot to think about. We broke down six of the best options so you can make the right call: www.honeybadger.io/blog/observa...

Your metrics are green. No errors, no downtime, latency looks fine. Except 22 carts got abandoned last week because checkouts were slow for some users. Kevin used Claude + Honeybadger's MCP server to find the pattern. Watch it in action: www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWGk... #observability #devtools
