What is Honeycomb?#

Honeycomb brings your application catalog, portable CLI releases, configuration reviews, and shared testing workflows into one place. Browse applications in the library, manage your organization's applications in the console, or use the same workflows from the Rust CLI and client SDK.

Your workspace#

Surface What you do there
Application library Browse public packages; sign in to discover private applications you can access.
Developer console Register applications, upload releases, edit configuration, and review requests.
honeycomb CLI Package, install, update, and administer applications from a terminal.
silicon-honeycomb-client Integrate Honeycomb into a Rust application without taking on the CLI's local state.
Backend contract discovery Discover the HTTP API contract supported by the server.

The important distinction#

Registering an application creates its identity and configuration. Uploading a release attaches an immutable, installable package. Publication is a separate approval workflow that makes an application public after the required checks complete. A successful upload does not automatically publish it.

IAM continues to authenticate users and enforce accepted permissions. Honeycomb manages application workflows; Briefcase stores package bytes. Read the architecture.

Version and availability#

These guides describe CLI/client 0.1.0, package format 1, and HTTP API v1, checked against the repository on 16 September 2026. Some shared testing, publication, bundle, and adoption workflows still depend on unfinished service contracts. The availability page distinguishes shipped interfaces from completed production acceptance.
