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 ππ". We built Honeycomb to answer the hard questions that come up when you're trying to operate your softwareβto 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.
