What is FullStory?

FullStory's release feed is empty — no usable signal in the changelog stream.

The only captured entry is navigation chrome ('Follow us') with no release content. This means our scraper isn't finding FullStory's actual changelog or that releases aren't being published in a machine-readable form on the public surface we monitor.

What is Honeycomb?

Honeycomb bets that the agent, not the engineer, should notice the anomaly first

Honeycomb is building two surfaces in parallel: Canvas, its agentic investigation workspace, and the MCP server that lets outside agents query Honeycomb. This window adds Anomaly Detection in open beta, MCP-driven onboarding that auto-instruments a codebase, telemetry stats in the Activity Log, and write access to Triggers, SLOs and Boards from Canvas. Activity Log itself reached general availability at the start of the window.

FullStory's release feed is empty — no usable signal in the changelog stream.

◆ Current state

The only captured entry is navigation chrome ('Follow us') with no release content. This means our scraper isn't finding FullStory's actual changelog or that releases aren't being published in a machine-readable form on the public surface we monitor.

◆ Where it's heading

Trajectory cannot be assessed from the available data. The scraper either needs a different source URL or FullStory has shifted release communication elsewhere (in-product, customer portal, or blog-only).

◆ Prediction

Until a new source is wired in, no prediction is possible. Worth flagging this product for source-discovery work rather than commentary.

Honeycomb bets that the agent, not the engineer, should notice the anomaly first

◆ Current state

Honeycomb is building two surfaces in parallel: Canvas, its agentic investigation workspace, and the MCP server that lets outside agents query Honeycomb. This window adds Anomaly Detection in open beta, MCP-driven onboarding that auto-instruments a codebase, telemetry stats in the Activity Log, and write access to Triggers, SLOs and Boards from Canvas. Activity Log itself reached general availability at the start of the window.

◆ Where it's heading

The centre of gravity is moving from asking better questions to being told what changed. Anomaly Detection removes the requirement to define thresholds or write queries at all, and Canvas edits mean the agent can propose changes to alerting config, gated by human approval. MCP is becoming the front door for both onboarding and querying — Honeycomb is positioning its data as something an agent operates rather than a dashboard an engineer reads.

◆ Prediction

Anomaly Detection should widen beyond error rate and presence to latency and volume signals as it moves toward GA, and MCP onboarding will likely become the default path for new teams.
