Being active in the Melbourne tech scene satisfies our intrinsic motivation for purpose, feeds our curiosity and allows us to explore the world, and our work with like minded people. Below are some of the intentional alliances we forge within a network we are profoundly grateful to be a part of.
"Poor observability is the dark matter of engineering teams. It’s why everything we do feels so incredibly, grindingly slow, for no apparent reason. Good observability empowers teams to ship swiftly, consistently, and with confidence. It’s hard to describe the difference in words, but once you’ve built software with fast feedback loops and real-time, interactive visibility into what your code is doing, you simply won’t go back..."
- Charity Majors, Cofounder/CTO, Honeycomb
The folks at Midnyte City have been big fans of Honeycomb and the legends that are Charity Majors and Liz Fong-Jones for many years.
So it is with great excitement we share that Honeycomb and Midnyte City have officially teamed up in partnership!
Based on a strong values alignment and complementary skills, our collaboration will be a force multiplier helping the next generation of Australian technology leaders, innovators and early adopters to deliver high quality code, faster and more reliably. The customer problems we will be working together to solve are:
Increasing productivity with:
Single pane of glass - one tool engineers can gather the information to investigate issues
Faster identification, troubleshooting and resolution of issues, reducing firefighting and unplanned work
Less context switching
Building high performance cultures by:
Evolving ways of working
Creating a culture of observability driven development
Increasing time for innovation, feature development and value creation
Reducing risk by building:
Greater confidence in deployments
Faster feedback on system performance
Saving money due to:
Reduced on call spend
Increased engineering capacity dedicated to value creation
Both Honeycomb and Midnyte are deeply passionate about Observability and the impact it can have on security, resilience, speed and performance in technology teams. We also know (and help to show clients) that good Observability is much more about culture change than tools, as evidence with the evolution from 1.0 to 2.0:
Observability 1.0 has three pillars and many sources of truth, scattered across disparate tools and formats.
Observability 2.0 has one source of truth, wide structured log events, from which you can derive all the other data types.
Observability is a culture and thought process. It can help us build reliability into the systems we develop and maintain, as well as help building high performing teams.
Midnyte City could not be more excited about working with Honeycomb and innovative customers to achieve these goals, together.
