Engineers know best. No machine or tool will ever match the context and capacity that engineers have to make judgment calls about what a system should or shouldn’t do. We built Honeycomb to augment human intuition, not replace it.

Debugging Just Got Faster and Easier With New Enhancements to BubbleUp

We’re thrilled to share that we’ve made significant enhancements to BubbleUp that will enable users to BubbleUp from more parts of the Honeycomb UI beyond heatmaps. This means users can leverage BubbleUp’s powerful pattern detection on specific groups of users or conditions beyond numeric values, such as users from a particular region, using specific devices or operating systems that are experiencing a particular error message—or are using a unique part of your application, such as a discount code. This ability dramatically accelerates the debugging workflow because you can investigate so many more combinations of factors by asking a wider range of questions about your data to uncover underlying issues in way fewer steps, all from the same UI.
