When you are working with Node.js, we recommend these methods of sending data to Honeycomb.
When you want to instrument Node.js applications in a standard, vendor-agnostic, and future-proof way, we recommend using the OpenTelemetry JavaScript SDK to send telemetry data to Honeycomb. The OpenTelemetry JavaScript SDK allows you to send traces and metrics. Logs is in development.
When you want to simplify the process of instrumenting applications and sending data to Honeycomb, use the Honeycomb Distribution for Node.js, which wraps the official OpenTelemetry JavaScript SDK.
When you need to create and send structured logs to Honeycomb, use Libhoney for Node.js, our structured logging library for Node.js applications.
