Case Study: Depot achieves 40x faster builds with Honeycomb

DEPOT powers software builds 40x faster with Honeycomb

The customer, Depot, a developer-first build acceleration platform, faced challenges with a fragmented, homegrown observability stack that caused alert fatigue and slow incident triage as they scaled. They needed a solution to define system health, surface problems proactively, and support SLOs, leading them to adopt Honeycomb for its distributed tracing and native SLO capabilities.

By implementing Honeycomb, Depot gained a single pane of glass for their entire platform, enabling instant triage with BubbleUp and providing AI agents with structured trace data for customer support. The results were dramatic, including a 40x acceleration in build times for their customers and reducing their own time to root cause from hours to seconds. Honeycomb provided the observability foundation that allows Depot's small team to deliver a high-performance, reliable experience.
