Beyond Backend: Honeycomb for Frontend Observability is Now GA
Observability has traditionally been backend-focused, but the frontend is just as hard—if not harder—to debug and has simply outgrown current monitoring tools. Engineers working with the frontend need the ability to see every user interaction with their system—and all the rich context around it. They need observability for the frontend. Today, we’re proud to announce that Honeycomb for Frontend Observability is now generally available.
Redefining RUM: A Comparative Gap Analysis of Existing Tools
Real user monitoring (RUM) began as a straightforward approach to tracking basic web performance metrics. Focused on things like page load times and response rates, RUM relied on server-side logging and simple browser timings. While these tools captured Core Web Vitals (CWVs), they offered limited insights into how users actually interacted with pages, focused mainly on server-side performance.
