Honeycomb uptime
Measured from multiple regions every 6 hours. Percentages count only checks that returned an availability answer — 57 days measured so far. A dash means that window does not yet hold enough measured days to publish a figure.

Each region runs its own request from a different part of the world. A service can be up for one continent and down for another, which is usually the first sign of a routing or CDN problem.
What Honeycomb does
Honeycomb is an observability platform built around wide events and distributed traces, used by engineering teams to ask open-ended questions about production rather than watch fixed dashboards. Services send telemetry through OpenTelemetry, and teams rely on it for SLOs, triggers and incident debugging. It runs separate US and EU environments, and an outage removes visibility exactly when it is most wanted.
What an outage looks like
Event ingest at api.honeycomb.io rejects or drops data, so recent time ranges look empty and a healthy service appears to have stopped serving traffic. Queries in the UI time out or return partial results. Triggers and SLO alerting do not fire, which is silent by nature. The EU1 and US1 environments fail independently, so only one may be affected.
What to do about it
status.honeycomb.io reports ingest, querying, the app interface and Trigger and SLO alerting separately for US1 and EU1, so start by confirming which environment and which function is affected. Treat a sudden drop to zero traffic as a Honeycomb ingest problem until proven otherwise, and fall back to another signal, logs or a load balancer's own metrics, before declaring an incident of your own.
Is it down for everyone, or just you?
If this page says Honeycomb is up but it is not loading for you, the problem is between you and them. Run a check against any URL from up to 17 cities across three regions to find out where it breaks.

How we measure this
- We request Honeycomb's public endpoint every 6 hours from Fly.io regions across six continents — the most recent check ran from 8 of them.
- A region counts as down only when it gets no usable HTTP response. A
403or429means the origin answered and refused us, which we report as blocked, never as an outage. - A single failing region is treated as probe noise. We only change the verdict when two consecutive cycles agree.
- Response times average only the regions that actually served the page, so a timeout never inflates the number.
- Where Honeycomb publishes an official status feed we read it too. An all-clear from the vendor can soften an unconfirmed degradation; a vendor-declared outage only worsens our verdict when our own checks corroborate it.
