May 22, 2025: Infrastructure Improvements

Boring to most, we know, but worthy of communication

Updated today

This release includes a set of behind-the-scenes infrastructure upgrades designed to improve performance, security, and long-term platform stability across all Honeycommb products.

While these updates don’t introduce new user-facing features, they strengthen the foundation that every network relies on.

What’s Included

  • Database software upgraded
    Updated our database to a newer, supported version to improve reliability, performance, and long-term maintainability.

  • Feed job optimizations
    Improved feed processing jobs to run faster and use more efficient queries, resulting in better performance as networks scale.

  • Enhanced session token management
    Strengthened how session tokens are issued and managed to improve security and reduce risk related to authentication and access control.

  • Service dependency updates
    Updated more than a dozen internal service requirements to their latest versions, addressing security patches, performance improvements, and compatibility updates.

Why This Matters

Investing in core infrastructure ensures Honeycommb remains:

  • Secure, with up-to-date dependencies and stronger authentication handling

  • Fast, even as communities grow in size and activity

  • Reliable, with modern, well-maintained systems under the hood

These improvements reflect Honeycommb’s ongoing commitment to maintaining a stable, secure, and scalable platform—so network owners and members can focus on building meaningful communities without disruption.

Thank you!
