Case Study: tastytrade moves its data center and catches critical issues faster with Honeycomb

tastytrade cuts investigations from 1 week to 5 mins with Honeycomb

tastytrade, an online brokerage, faced the high-stakes challenge of migrating its entire production data center while maintaining full trading operations, where any latency or downtime could be extremely costly. They used Honeycomb for observability to identify hidden issues during this complex infrastructure overhaul.

With Honeycomb, tastytrade could tag and compare telemetry from old and new data centers side-by-side, uncovering five critical hidden issues before they impacted customers. This turned week-long investigations into five-minute conversations and ensured a successful migration. Honeycomb enabled a new, durable observability practice where all technical changes are now managed through tagging, filtering, and comparing data.
