About Honeycomb
Honeycomb is an observability platform built for engineering teams to understand, debug, and improve complex cloud-native and distributed systems in production. Founded in 2016 by Christine Yen and Charity Majors — the engineers who coined the modern definition of "observability" as a practice distinct from traditional monitoring — Honeycomb has raised approximately $177 million in total funding across multiple rounds.
Honeycomb's platform enables engineers to query billions of high-cardinality data points in real time without pre-aggregation, dramatically compressing mean-time-to-resolution for production incidents compared to traditional APM or logging tools. Unlike legacy monitoring tools that require teams to predict what to measure in advance, Honeycomb lets engineers ask any question of their data after the fact — making it uniquely suited to modern microservices and serverless architectures. The company achieved 160% net revenue retention across more than 600 customers including Slack, Intercom, and Dropbox. In 2025, Honeycomb launched MCP availability in the AWS Marketplace and expanded its AI-powered query and anomaly detection capabilities. In April 2025, Honeycomb acquired Grit, a software development applications company, to further expand its platform.
Honeycomb's key investors include Headline (e.ventures), which led the $50 million Series D in April 2023, Insight Partners, Scale Venture Partners, Storm Ventures, Industry Ventures, and Next World Capital. Co-founders Christine Yen and Charity Majors remain actively involved in leading the company and the broader observability community.
