Honeycomb vs Scout: What are the differences?
What is Honeycomb? 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.
What is Scout? Application Monitoring that Developers Love. Scout is application monitoring that points developers right to the source of problems: N+1 database queries, memory bloat, performance trends, and more Scout eliminates much of the investigation part when performance woes occur. .
