title: Why Honeycomb
description: Honeycomb is a tool for introspecting and interrogating your production systems. We can gather data from any source—from your clients (mobile, IoT, browsers), vendored software, or your own code. Single-node debugging tools miss crucial details in a world where infrastructure is dynamic and ephemeral. Honeycomb is a new type of tool, designed and evolved to meet the real needs of platforms, microservices, serverless apps, and complex systems.

*“With old-school log search tools, you have a search box to find a needle in a haystack of log lines which is very difficult to make sense of. In contrast Honeycomb gives you neat piles of the right data that’s useful to solving the problem at that moment.”*

*“Before Honeycomb, we couldn’t really observe what was going on across the entire system. Honeycomb Tracing makes everything transparent again.”*
