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?
Canvas agents gain memory, and onboarding moves into the editor
Honeycomb is building an investigation agent rather than a query tool. Automatic Investigations now dispatch to Canvas agents carrying awareness of recent firings of the same Trigger, Burn Alert or Anomaly, so repeat issues get pinpointed against prior hypotheses. Around that sit Anomaly Detection in open beta, MCP-based onboarding that instruments a codebase from the editor, Canvas connectors for Linear and GitHub, and telemetry stats in the Activity Log.
FullStory vs Honeycomb: editorial side-by-side
FullStory
0.0INFRA · APIS
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.

Canvas agents gain memory, and onboarding moves into the editor
◆ Current state
Honeycomb is building an investigation agent rather than a query tool. Automatic Investigations now dispatch to Canvas agents carrying awareness of recent firings of the same Trigger, Burn Alert or Anomaly, so repeat issues get pinpointed against prior hypotheses. Around that sit Anomaly Detection in open beta, MCP-based onboarding that instruments a codebase from the editor, Canvas connectors for Linear and GitHub, and telemetry stats in the Activity Log.
◆ Where it's heading
Every recent release reduces what a human has to know before Honeycomb is useful. Detection needs no thresholds, onboarding needs no manual SDK setup, and now the agent retains context across alert firings instead of starting cold each time. Canvas is becoming the product's centre of gravity — the surface that reads connectors, edits Triggers and SLOs, and accumulates conclusions.
◆ Prediction
Anomaly Detection should widen beyond error rate and presence to latency and request rate as it approaches GA, and the alert-history awareness added here is the groundwork for agents that correlate across different alerts rather than repeat firings of one.
