Keep paying for Honeycomb.
What you hire it for: What Honeycomb is for, we do not do.
This is infrastructure, not work. Honeycomb is not charging you for a task somebody does each week; it is charging you for something that has to be up at 3am. There is no job here for a language model on a schedule, and putting one in the path only adds a way for it to break.
What we would not let an agent near
- Run your infrastructure
- Be on-call for you
We sell agents, and we are telling you not to buy one for this. That is not modesty — it is the same judgement we apply to every agent we do ship.
Before you pay anyone
The free way to do Honeycomb’s job
These are real, and we would rather you heard it here. Each one is free in money and costs something else — the catch is written next to it.
- Grafana + PrometheusOpen source
The standard free observability stack. It is a project, not an afternoon.
None of these do the work. They are somewhere to put it. Your posting queue was not empty because the scheduler cost money, and a free scheduler you have to host yourself will be just as empty on Monday. That is the part we would replace, and on this tool we cannot.
