How Humio Tests in Production

At the September Test in Production Meetup held at Microsoft Reactor in San Francisco, Humio discussed how they use their own log management platform to test in production. The company's developers mitigate risk by pushing new features through multiple "levels of production" and building observability into their application. They also utilize feature flags and profiling tools to monitor real-time execution of queries and track the performance of their product. The key takeaway is that it's crucial for applications to be built with observability in mind, ensuring that developers can understand what's happening throughout the entire lifecycle and quickly remediate any issues that arise.
