Honeycode and Honeycomb
okay but hear me out: what if I instrument my @AWS Honeycode no-code apps to send telemetry data to @honeycombio? 🤔🤔🤔🍯🍯🍯

Honestly, looking at the marketing site on mobile Honeycode really just seems like AWS's answer to @airtable

Doesn't make it easier to instrument tho lol
So I'd expect Honeycode to have some sort of backend that maybe "real" AWS users can go in and e.g. create app templates from, set up access policies, etc.

Always fun to navigate docs sites on mobile lolhttps://t.co/SwxzlutETD
Aww.

> Upgrading to a Plus or Pro plan is a prerequisite to accessing developer tools and Honeycode APIs.
Includes IAM, aws-sdk, Honeycode API.
> Amazon Honeycode has two APIs: GetScreenData and InvokeScreenAutomation.

Hmm. I think I'd have to just have a script running to use the API to grab whatever's on the screen at intervals. Not very helpful if I'm trying to get good observability.
This is a sort of pull method, where some external service decides what data to get and when, rather than a push approach where the thing generating the data decides what to send.

I recommend the push approach, which you get by instrumenting your code.
Pulling data from the top of the pile every X minutes or whatever doesn't tell me what's happening between those X minutes.

How many people are using the app? They're inputting data, what data? People are complaining that it's slow when you do ABC behavior. How to debug?
