DevOps teams work autonomously and embrace a software engineering culture, workflow, and toolset that elevates operational requirements to the same level of importance as architecture, design and development. This helps companies align their people, processes, and tools toward a more unified customer focus.

Before joining CircleCI, my years of experience led me to believe that I was an engineer with a firm understanding of the technical aspects of the craft, as well as what is considered good practice. We learn things from concepts and processes to languages and tools.

The future of observability has never been more exciting, and this latest round ensures we can continue to invest—with conviction—in improving the lives of software engineering teams. Engineering teams are recognizing observability as a distinct and emerging practice, and are hungry for a truly differentiated product like Honeycomb.

Engineering has come a long way since the days of delivering discrete, point-in-time products that were often packaged on a CD and shipped to customers. The advent of cloud computing and the rise of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) transformed the landscape, creating a new model of continuous development and service delivery.

This is analogous to safety departments in organizations that attempt to do resilience engineering.
