Dashbird vs Honeycomb: What are the differences?

Developers describe Dashbird as "Monitoring and troubleshooting for serverless applications". Dashbird gives full visibility into serverless architectures. Failure detection, monitoring and debugging capabilities for AWS Lambda and event sources. Get up and running in 5 minutes without any performance overhead or code changes. On the other hand, Honeycomb is detailed as "Observability for a distributed world--designed for high cardinality data and collaborative problem solving πŸπŸ’–". We built Honeycomb to answer the hard questions that come up when you're trying to operate your software–to debug microservices, serverless, distributed systems, polyglot persistence, containers, and a world of fast, parallel deploys.

Dashbird and Honeycomb can be primarily classified as "Performance Monitoring" tools.

Some of the features offered by Dashbird are:

  • Monitoring
  • Alerting
  • Full text search

On the other hand, Honeycomb provides the following key features:

  • High-performance querying against high-cardinality or sparse events.
  • Accepts any structured JSON objects with a write key.
