Production Investigation

Structured workflows for investigating production issues in Honeycomb — the sequence of tool calls (context priming, broad query, BubbleUp, trace analysis, verification) and how to chain results between steps to reach root causes. Trigger phrases: "investigate production issue", "debug latency spike", "find root cause", "use BubbleUp", "analyze traces", "debug an outage", "why is my API slow", "errors are increasing", "health check", "SLO burning", or any request to investigate or debug production problems.

Observability Fundamentals
honeycombio
First principles behind observability — wide events, high cardinality, the core analysis loop, events vs metrics vs logs, and how instrumentation connects to debugging outcomes. Grounds recommendations in first principles rather than tool-specific how-to. Trigger phrases: "what is observability", "why observability", "why Honeycomb", "events vs metrics vs logs", "events vs metrics", "events vs logs", "metrics vs logs", "why wide events", "what is high cardinality", "core analysis loop", "observability vs monitoring", "what is dimensionality", "explain observability", or any conceptual question about observability or why Honeycomb's approach differs from traditional monitoring.
