The use case: how tastytrade deploys Honeycomb
tastytrade uses Honeycomb to compare telemetry across its old and new data centers during a production migration, tagging data by data center and hardware to spot regressions and diagnose issues. It is instrumented with OpenTelemetry and uses BubbleUp for investigations.
