Case Study: Behaviour Interactive resolves production issues faster with Honeycomb

Behaviour Interactive - Customer Case Study

Behaviour Interactive (BHVR), one of North America’s largest independent video game developers, was struggling to troubleshoot latency issues in its Node.js stack on AWS across multiple external platform services. Its classic APM couldn’t quickly identify whether slowdowns were caused by caching, the database, or external calls, making it difficult to pinpoint the source of delays affecting players.

BHVR adopted Honeycomb, using its intuitive observability platform and BubbleUp feature to drill into individual requests and surface outliers against a baseline. With Honeycomb, engineers resolved production issues in minutes instead of much longer, including a showstopping problem during a major release, and they now use it to uncover and fix both new and previously unsolved performance issues.
