Looks like the kind of company that's going to go to the wall once cheap money starts to dry up. There's a lot of them around.
Someone mentioned they make a log viewer for people who don't view logs. I don't think there's a more accurate description for it.
Honeycomb is a pricey product in a market filled with the same product, often included for free as part of a cloud package.
Given their staffing size and the fact that they've openly admitted to hiring people using government diversity grants (their actual CTO said this xirself), there is no way they are profitable. This is a resume-padding company that nobody within the management of the company expects to survive for long, at least not in its current form.
I'm sure the CEO's primary-but-not-openly-discussed job right now (as it is for many CEOs) is to increase the value of the company just enough to make it viable to sell to a larger one as quickly as possible - probably to a competitor who will then bin it after stealing half-way decent ideas from it, or to a larger cloud firm who will put their own senior engineers on it. Shareholders/VC firms/new owners win, everyone else gets fired.
