The first Rails conference was not in Chicago, but in Vancouver, BC. Canada on Rails happened in April 2006, a few months before the first official #RailsConf in Chicago. Vancouver is actually where DHH’s famous slide is from (not this one).

We added Cursor, Windsurf, and Zed to the list of supported local editors in user settings.

This allows you to open files from HB's error backtrace and jump directly to the affected line in your editor.

A user profile settings page displaying the "Local Editor Setup" configuration. The left sidebar shows various settings categories including Profile, Accounts, Authentication, and others, with "Local Editor" currently selected. The main panel shows settings for user@example.com, explaining that providing local editor details enables special links in backtraces that open files at specific lines. The "Default editor" field shows "Cursor" with a dropdown menu open displaying multiple editor options including Atom, BBEdit, Visual Studio Code, and others, with "Zed" currently checked. Below are fields for "Project" (showing "Monolith") and "Absolute Local Path" with a placeholder example. A note indicates that Sublime and Visual Studio Code require installing an app.

You can send alerts to Slack, PagerDuty, or any of Honeybadger’s many 3rd-party integrations—giving you incredible flexibility when notifying your team and choosing when and how to respond. 6/
An alert notification configuration interface displaying two communication channel settings: Email (user@example.com) configured to send alerts only when problems occur with "Alert" checked and "OK" unchecked, and Slack (#alerts channel) set to receive both problem and recovery notifications with both "Alert" and "OK" options checked, allowing for different notification behaviors across platforms.

Today, we’re building on this foundation with a new feature called Insights Alarms. Alarms allow you to combine a query (“count all slow requests in the past five minutes”) with a threshold (”when count is > 2”) and trigger alerts when the query result exceeds the threshold. 5/
A monitoring dashboard titled "Slow requests" showing system performance over time. The status shows "ok" with "Checked 5 min ago - Next in < 1 min". The time range displays "1h" to "now" in PST timezone. The line graph shows no slow requests from 08:20 to 08:55, then a sharp increase at 09:00 to 1, peaking at 09:05 with a value of 3 (marked by a red dashed threshold line), then decreasing to 2 by 09:10. The timeline at the bottom shows mostly green status with a red segment around 09:05, indicating a brief period of performance issues.

This is a key difference between Honeybadger and less sophisticated APM and logging tools. You get a simple and elegant application monitoring tool by default, but there is also so much power under the hood. 4/
A data table showing the average request duration in milliseconds for different controllers in a web application. The 'AccountsController' has the highest average duration of 6126.84 ms, followed by 'SamlController' at 2094.47 ms, 'SearchController' at 1597.89 ms, 'ProjectsController' at 958.56 ms, and 'TeamMembersController' at 783.47 ms. The search query used to generate this table is visible above the results, including commands to calculate the average duration, sort by duration, and limit the output to 5 entries.

You can use BadgerQL to transform and aggregate events at query time, allowing you to analyze your data and derive metrics without deploying new instrumentation. 3/
A log data table from an application monitoring tool with timestamps in PST. The entries display JSON data with actions like "links", "show", "index", "hook", "poll", executed by controllers such as "SearchController", "TasksController", "ProjectsController", "GithubController". Database query times and request durations are logged, indicating performance metrics, with several actions taking over 100 milliseconds. Logs include AWS ECS task references, suggesting this application is containerized and deployed on AWS ECS.

In Honeybadger, everything is an event. Application errors, logs, telemetry data? All events. While we provide simple APM-style (Application Performance Monitoring) views on top of these events, we also give you direct access through our advanced query engine in Honeybadger Insights. 2/
Six performance metric graphs for a web application: "API requests" shows stable request counts, "API response time" fluctuates with spikes, "Ingest throughput" varies with an upward trend, "Ingest performance" has peaks under 0.4 seconds, "Notifications throughput" demonstrates volatility, and "Notifications performance" maintains a steady average time around 0.18 seconds, all over 15-minute intervals. Options to edit queries suggest customizable monitoring.

Have you seen the point-and-click query builder in Honeybadger Insights?

This works with your errors and application events, and also any custom event you send to Honeybadger (logs, analytics, usage activity, etc.).

Honeybadger lets you do this, but with error notifications. 😁

docs.honeybadger.io/guides/error...
A dropdown menu titled 'Ignore' with error notification settings. It shows seven options: pausing notifications for 1 hour, 1 day, or 1 week; pausing until the error occurs 10, 100, or 1,000 more times; and a final option to permanently ignore the error and stop recording its data.

Everyone who has followed us here so far, thank you. You are a great crew. 🥹

Not sure what we'll do with this account yet, but will do our best to keep it fun and lighthearted... maybe we'll chase all the big corporate brands back to Threads or something...
the goose chasing guy meme but with a honey badger instead of the goose. the top panel says "Brands say what?" and the bottom panel has the honey badger saying "Brands say what, motherf*cker!" while chasing the guy with its bristling tail upturned.
