Errors are inevitable in any software, and FastAPI applications are no exception. Errors disrupt the normal flow of execution, expose sensitive information, and lead to a poor user experience.

Learn how to squash those bugs in FastAPI:

A 5-star testimonial about Honeybadger: "The fact that I can, within maybe 30 minutes, get an answer to a support question from someone who's actually working on the product and in many cases one of the cofounders of the company, is straight up ridiculous." —Software developer in banking Review from Gartner Peer Insights

Here's something I cooked up over the weekend: a terminal user interface (TUI) that renders @honeybadger.io observability dashboards from our YAML source format (which we recently made public, more to come on that).

Finally experimented with some #MCP servers for myself. Mixed results. I feel like this can be useful, but I need to work on my AGENTS.md file. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Was for @honeybadger.io which has a great MCP. Shout out to you all 🥳

In 2025, we hit the conference circuit—RailsConf, Laracon, ElixirConf, to name a few.

We shipped smart "Just Enough APM™" dashboards, Insights Alarms, an EU data region, plus integrations with @incident.io, @rootly.com, and more.

Thanks for a great year. See you in 2026! 🧡

Just migrated monitoring for two projects (Rails, React) from New Relic to @honeybadger.io. Genuinely delightful experience. Love the lightweight APM and dashboard UI. One of the better onboarding experiences I can remember.

Heroku makes sense until your app grows and you hit specific limitations. Many companies use it for years before those constraints become a problem. But when they do, some teams opt for Kubernetes.

We wrote a guide on the tradeoffs:

We're doing something a bit different (and cool!) with APM at Honeybadger... Josh writes up some of our thoughts on the blog:
honeybadger.io Honeybadger.io @honeybadger.io · Nov 6
APMs drown you in data you'll never use, yet can't answer questions when production breaks.

Our co-founder Josh explores why—it's not lack of data, it's paying for complexity that doesn't translate to capability.
