Did you miss it? This year we shipped new APM dashboards, real-time alerts for metrics and logs, EU data residency, an MCP server for your AI assistants, and so much more.

Legacy APMs somehow manage to be both too much and too little—overwhelming you with dashboards and data while failing to answer the questions that matter when production breaks. There's a better way.

Honeybadger's new performance monitoring dashboards capture Elixir telemetry automatically while giving you direct access to transform, query, and alert on the underlying data—no black boxes, just total visibility.

Honeybadger Insights gives you granular control over monitoring without deploying new instrumentation—write a query, set a threshold, and stay ahead of issues before they impact users.

Node.js projects in Honeybadger can now officially take advantage of source maps, just like Client-Side JavaScript projects can.

Some devs use JavaScript in the browser; some use JavaScript on the server. What if you do both?

Are you on DEV? Did you know that it's open-source, and that it uses Honeybadger? We just launched a new feature to help communities like DEV fix more errors together!
